A. Maiboroda et al., Synthesis and X-ray structure of the homobinuclear 2,2 '-biimidazole-bridged palladium(II) complex [{Pd(dppp)}(2)(mu-biim)](OTf)(2), INORG CH C, 4(8), 2001, pp. 381-383
Homobinuclear [(Pd(dppp))(2)(mu -biim)1(OTf)(2) (4) (dppp=bis(diphenylphosp
hino)propane. biim=2,2 \ -biimidazole, OTf = OSO2CF3) is accessible by the
reaction of [Pd(dppp))(OTf)(2) (1) with H(2)biim (2) in the presence of an
appropriate base. The structure of 4 was determined by X-ray crystallograph
y. As a result thereof, the palladium atoms are located somewhat above and
below the planar biim(2-) entity. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights
