Pseudosymmetry in a cyclopalladated compound

“…In previous work by Calmuschi & Englert, all intermediates along the reaction pathway used to synthesize (I) (see Scheme) have been structurally characterized (Calmuschi & Englert, 2002;Calmuschi, Jonas & Englert, 2004). A variety of pyridine derivatives have been used successfully as -donor ligands (Calmuschi, Alesi & Englert, 2004;Calmuschi-Cula et al, 2005, 2006, 2009Braun et al, 2011). In the present case, we intended to introduce the electronically similar ligand quinoline as an approximate steric equivalent to the nucleobase guanine; guanine itself is only sparingly soluble in solvents compatible with the organopalladium starting material.…”

One of the most complex “small molecule structures” ever reported: 16 independent molecules in the asymmetric unit for an ortho-palladated primary amine

“…[2][3][4][5][6] Ortho-palladated primary amines have been made generally accessible by Vicente et al 7 and have proven suitable building blocks for this crystal engineering purpose. 8,9 In the context of these studies, we have prepared a variety of organopalladium compounds (see ESI).w [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] All complexes of this kind are unspectacular with respect to their content of the asymmetric unit. Z 0 , the number of independent molecules, varies between 1 and 4.…”
