Abstract
It is important to determine molecular behavior of the hydrophilic nitrogen ligands in aqueous organometallic chemistry and as catalysts for the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. Quantum chemical calculations of geometrical structures and vibrational wavenumbers of a series of sulfonated pyridyl imine ligands and Pd(II)-pyridyl imine complexes were carried out by density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method. Ionization energy, molecular hardness and electronegativity were derived from the calculated HOMO and LUMO energies and used to identify the differences in the stability and reactivity of studied compounds.
