Several novel diimines (Salen-type ligands) 2a-2i and their reduced diamine counterparts 3b,3d-3g and 3i form complexes 4a-4i, 5b,5d-5g, and 5i with PdCl2 in DMF or methanol. Using 1 mol-% of the isolated complexes 4e and 5f many polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can be prepared in moderate to excellent yields according to the Suzuki cross-coupling protocol with contact to air. Several 4-acetylbiphenyls prepared by this method can be converted in moderate yields into the corresponding biphenylcarboxylic acids (BCAs) by alkaline cleavage. An X-ray crystal structure determination confirms the structure of complex 5f. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2008.
Physical, spectral and chromatographic properties of all 209 individual PCB congeners

Through the use of two capillary GC columns: 40% octadecyl/ 15% phenyl methyl siloxane and 50% phenyl methyl siloxane, it was possible to separate 201 PCB congeners with only four unresolved pairs. The data compiled in this study for all 209 congeners will aid in the identification of selected individual components of these environmental pollutants. The use of this data also presents the opportunity for the improved quantification of the commercial PCB formulations. -from Authors
