Reactivity Studies of Catalytically Relevant Palladium Model Complexes by Ansis Maleckis A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Chemistry) in The University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Professor Melanie S. Sanford, Chair Professor Mark Banaszak Holl Professor Erdogan Gulari Professor John P. Wolfe © Ansis Maleckis 2014 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my advisor, Professor Melanie Sanford for having me as a member of her research group. I thank you for your ideas, suggestions and unceasing enthusiasm for research and science. You taught me how to explore, write and present chemistry. I am extremely grateful to you also for your infinite understanding and tolerance towards my unruly and idiosyncratic personality. I thank my dissertation committee members, Professors John P. Wolfe, Mark Banaszak Holl and Erdogan Gulari for their invaluable time and advice. I must thank the department staff for all the help they have provided. DRs. Eugenio Alvarado and Chris Kojiro for assistance with NMR experiments, DRs Jim Windak and Paul Lennon for Mass spectrometry analyses and Dr Jeff W. Kampf for X-ray structures. ii Table of Contents Acknowledgments......................................................................................................ii List of Tables
