Exploiting Non-Innocent Ligands to Prepare Masked Palladium(0) Complexes
Résumé
Reaction of [PdMe2(tmeda)] with pyridyl-N-di(tert-butyl)phosphinoimine spontaneously affords an unusual bimetallic palladium(I) ligand-based biradical complex, which behaves as a "masked" form of Pd0 in its reactions with neutral ligands and chlorobenzene.
