过渡金属络合物在电化学合成中获得了广泛的应用，其中配体对于络合物在电场中稳定性、催化活性以及选择性的影响还了解有限。4-氰基-吡啶作为一种高效吡啶化试剂，在自由基化学中获得广泛应用。在前期的工作中，我们实现了电化学条件下，手性双膦配体钯络合物催化4-氰基-吡啶与烯丙基醋酸酯反应，构建了多种手性烯丙基吡啶化合物。我们发现双膦配体对反应有着关键的作用，决定着反应的活性、区域选择性和对映选择性。在本工作中，我们系统性地研究了多种双膦配体钯金属络合物，在烯丙基醋酸酯与氰基吡啶的电化学还原偶联过程中的性质。通过控制实验，电化学分析以及理论计算等方法，我们揭示了双膦配体对于络合物稳定性及反应区域选择性的影响。进而，我们发现在电场条件下存在一个非稳定价态的过渡金属络合物。这个非稳定价态的过渡金属络合物中，双膦配体可以将电荷和自旋密度分散于整个络合物之中，而不是局限于金属离子之上。这样，络合物既可以作为电子转移催化剂，也可以作为过渡金属催化剂，同时控制整个电子转移过程以及成键过程。我们认为这种配体与金属在电场条件下的非稳定价态络合物，展现了电化学条件下过渡金属催化的独特能力，这有助于发展未来的新型的电化学催化体系。同时，我们还发现锌电极至关重要，其不仅可以活化4-氰基吡啶，还可以淬灭氰根离子，展现出Lewis酸性金属离子的特殊用途。

4-CN-pyridine is a widely applied 4-pyridinylation reagent for diverse transformations. Conventionally, the reaction proceeds via an open-shell radical cross-coupling pathway. Following our previous study, in this work, we report the Pd-catalyzed allyl 4-pyrinylation reaction under electrochemical conditions. The reaction proceeds via radical-polar crossover pathway in which the role of phosphine ligand in reactivity and selectivity was extensively investigated.
