57. 3)(OAc) + AcOH. The optimized structures were verified to be at a local minimum by calculation of the harmonic vibrational frequencies. Attempts to locate a stable five-coordinate palladium structures analogous to 9 and 10 have been unsuccessful. In each case, the optimization routine yields a minimum energy structure that possesses a hydrogen bond between the alcohol O-H and the carbonyl oxygen of a coordinated acetate ligand. The alcohol oxygen is oriented over the axial coordination site, but lies at a nonbonding distance of 3.6 Å. Relaxed potential energy surface (RPES) scans have also been conducted to probe the reaction pathway. The scans are conducted in the reverse (energetically favorable) direction by using optimized geometries of the square planar palladium-methoxide intermediate and acetic acid. The carbonyl oxygen of the acetic acid is directed over the axial coordination site of Pd, and the proton of the acid is directed over the oxygen of the methoxide ligand. Initial scans produce a product structure that closely resembles the optimized, hydrogen-bonded, alcohol adduct described above, which possesses no formal palladium-oxygen interaction. The transition state in this pathway has a trigonal bipyramidal structure in which the trigonal plane consists of two monodentate acetate ligands and an oxygen-bound alcohol ligand.
