Kinetic analysis of the liquid-assisted grinding (LAG) mechanosynthesis of metal bipyridine complexes
Liquid-assisted grinding (LAG) with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) can prepare a variety of palladium-bipyridine complexes much more rapidly than by ball milling the neat powders.The added liquid is non-innocent, and reacts to form Pd-DMSO species prior to formation of the final complex.Formation of a metal-DMSO intermediate leads this process to SAMOUR
