Bis(4‐methylthiazolyl)isoindoline (4‐Mebti) Complexes of Palladium: Cationic [Pd^II(4‐Mebti)L]⁺Species with a L = Neutral Group XIV or Group XV Donor Ligand

Abstract

Ligand exchange has been studied on the chlorido palladium(II) complex of the bis(4-methylthiazolylimino)isoindoline ligand, [Pd(4-Mebti)Cl], with a number of neutral group XIV and group XV donor ligands in the presence of the sodium salt of tetrakis[3,5bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate NaB(Ar F ) 4 . Seven new cationic compounds with L = PMe 3 , tBuNH 2 , PhNH 2 , py, 2,6-Me 2 py, MeCN and MeNC were obtained as B(Ar F ) 4 salts, and were characterized by analytic, spectroscopic and crystallographic means. Further attempts to observe ligand exchange reactions with either the softer AsMe 3 or SbMe 3 donor ligands or with different carbenes were unsuccessful and * Prof. Dr. M. Bröring
