Doctoral dissertation, Harvard University.http://dissertations.umi.com/gsas.harvard:11289http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:12269879Palladium is one of the most common and versatile transition metals used in modern organometallic chemistry. The chemistry of palladium in its 0, +II, and +IV oxidation states is well-known; by comparison, the chemistry of palladium in its +III oxidation state is in its infancy. The work in this thesis involves the study of previously unknown Pd(III) complexes, including applications in materials chemistry and catalysis.en-USChemistryFluorinationMetal-Metal BondingMolecular WiresOrganometallicsPalladiumThesis or Dissertation2014-06-06
