Synthesis and molecular structure of [Pd{CH2CH2C(O)Me}(HL)][BAr '(4)] (HL=6-Me-2,2 '-bipyridine, Ar '=3,5-(CF3)(2)C6H3), an intermediate relevant to ethene/CO copolymerization
S. Stoccoro et al., Synthesis and molecular structure of [Pd{CH2CH2C(O)Me}(HL)][BAr '(4)] (HL=6-Me-2,2 '-bipyridine, Ar '=3,5-(CF3)(2)C6H3), an intermediate relevant to ethene/CO copolymerization, ORGANOMETAL, 20(19), 2001, pp. 4111-4113
In the ethene/CO copolymerization catalyzed by palladium derivatives, speci
es arising from ethene insertion into the palladium-acyl bond have been sho
wn to play a key role. We report here the synthesis, spectroscopic characte
rization, and X-ray structure of the complex [Pd{CH2CH2C(O)Me}(HL)][BAr ' (
4)] (HL = 6-Me-2,2 ' -bipyridine, Ar ' = 3,5-(CF3)(2)C6H3), 4, the first on
e having an ancillary N,N ligand to be characterized in the solid state.
