I. Schwarz et al., Synthesis, crystal structure, and NMR Investigation of methyl alpha,alpha-dimethyl acetate-substituted pi-allylpalladium complexes, J ORGMET CH, 605(1), 2000, pp. 109-116
The dimeric, trifluoroacetate-bridged pi-allylpalladium complex 6 and the c
ationic allyl complex 8 were prepared and characterized by NMR spectroscopy
as well as crystal structure analyses. The carbonyl group of the carboxyli
c eater moiety does not form a chelate with the metal atom. The activation
enthalpy of a pi-sigma-pi conversion could be determined to be 14.6 kcal mo
l(-1) based on the dynamic NMR spectroscopy of the allylpalladium complex 8
