Oxidative addition of (HO)2B−XH3 to M(PH3)2 (X = C, Si, Ge, or Sn; M = Pd or Pt) was theoretically investigated with MP2-MP4(SDQ) and CCSD(T) methods. (HO)2B−XH3 easily undergoes oxidative addition to Pt(PH3)2 with a moderate activation energy for X = C and either a very small barrier or no barrier for X = Ge, Si, and Sn. Also, (HO)2B−SiH3, (HO)2B−GeH3, and (HO)2B−SnH3 undergo oxidative addition to Pd(PH3)2 with either a very small barrier or no barrier. Only the oxidative addition of (HO)2B−CH3 to Pd(PH3)2 cannot take place, but the reductive elimination of (HO)2B−CH3 from Pd(CH3)[B(OH)2](PH3)2 occurs with no barrier. The transition states (TS) of these oxidative additions are nonplanar except for the nearly planar TS of the oxidative addition of (HO)2B−CH3 to Pt(PH3)2. This TS structure is very sensitive to steric and electronic factors; for instance, the TS becomes nonplanar by substituting PH2(C2H5) for PH3, to decrease the steric repulsion between (HO)2B−CH3 and PH2(C2H5). A noteworthy feature of the...
