6 Abstract The Thesis is aimed at the synthesis of novel ferrocene-based acylphosphines of the type FcC(O)PR2 and R1 2PfcC(O)PR2 2 (Fc = ferrocenyl, fc = 1,1'-ferrocendiyl), evaluation of their electron-donating capabilities and steric demands. The impact of these features was scrutinized by further coordination and catalytical studies. First, a series of monodentate acylphosphine ligands FcC(O)PR2 was synthesized (PR2 = diphenylphosphino [PPh2], dicyclohexylphosphino [PCy2], di(1-adamantyl)phosphino [PAd2] a 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-2,4,6-trioxa-8- phosphaadamantyl [PCg]), which underwent oxidation by elemental selenium to give corresponding phosphine selenides used to probe their electron-donating capabilities via measuring 1 JPSe coupling constant. Then, chlorogold complexes were prepared from these ligands to evaluate their catalytic activity in gold-catalysed hydration of alkynes and cyclization of N-propargylbenzamide. Second, the model compound FcC(O)PPh2 was extensively studied as a ligand in palladium(II) complexes. The ligand was smoothly ortho-metallated by Na2[PdCl4] to form chloro-bridged palladium(II) dimer, which reacted with P-, N- and C-donors under cleavage to give monopalladium complexes. One of these complexes, containing trimethylphosphine auxiliary ligand, was alkylated with organometallic...
