Abstract. [PdI{(C6H5) Introduction. In the course of research into the cross-coupling reaction (Negishi, 1978) catalyzed by Pd(PPh3)4, we isolated an intermediate Pd(C6H4CH 2-SCHa)(PPh3)2I by reacting the organic halide [o-C6H4(CH2SCH3)I] with excess of Pd(PPh3) 4. We undertook this X-ray analysis to find out whether the coordination geometry about the Pd atom is squareplanar or square-based pyramidal with an intramolecularly coordinated S atom in apical position.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
