ligand molecules in a solid state. Pyridine-containing monomers
of ortho-palladated chiral oximes catalyze hydrolysis of chiral
esters in enantioselective manner; this finding would allow
kinetic resolution of racemic carboxylic acids in future. The
exploitation of bipy-type bidentate ligands for the synthesis of
dinuclear palladium catalysts is under current study at our
laboratories.
