Xg. Fang et al., Electrophilic cationic palladium(II) complexes containing a diimine ligandwith pendant thienyl groups. X-ray structure of {(PdMe)-Me-II[1,4-bis(2 '-(2-thienyl)ethyl)2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diazabutadiene]}(+), ORGANOMETAL, 20(15), 2001, pp. 3351-3354
Cationic Pd(II) complexes [(N2S2)Pd(II)Me][BArF] (3) and [(N2S2)Pd(II)][SO3
CF3](2) (7) have been. synthesized by using a new diimine ligand 1,4-bis(2
'-(2-thienyl)ethyl)-2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diazabutadiene (N2S2) that contains se
milabile pendant thienyl groups. Both complexes activated the Et3Si-H bond
and catalyzed the isomerization of 1-hexene to internal hexenes.
