Abstract
A new series of palladium(II) complexes with α-keto-stabilized phosphonium ylide ligands having a general formula [Pd(μ-X)(PPh3CHC(O)C6H4R)]2 [X = Br, R = m-OCH3 (C1), p-NO2 (C2), p-F (C3), X = Cl, R = m-OCH3 (C4)] was prepared. Also, a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study was performed for the compounds C1 and C4, which revealed a dimeric square-planar geometry around Pd(II) ions for these complexes. The spectroscopic and crystallographic results indicate that the phosphonium ylides coordinate to palladium(II) centers through the coordinatively active ylidic carbon atom and ortho-carbon atom of PPh3 phenyl ring (ortho-palladation). Using theoretical methods, density function theory (DFT) calculations at the BP86/def2-SVP level of theory, the structures of dimeric palladium(II) [Pd(μ-Br)(PPh3CHC(O)C6H4R)]2 [R = p-OCH3 (a), R = p-NO2 (b), p-F (c)] complexes were investigated. The strength and nature of donor − acceptor bonds between the phosphonium ylide (L) and Pd fragments were analyzed using natural bond orbital analysis (NBO).
期刊介绍:
Structural Chemistry is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original research papers that cover the condensed and gaseous states of matter and involve numerous techniques for the determination of structure and energetics, their results, and the conclusions derived from these studies. The journal overcomes the unnatural separation in the current literature among the areas of structure determination, energetics, and applications, as well as builds a bridge to other chemical disciplines. Ist comprehensive coverage encompasses broad discussion of results, observation of relationships among various properties, and the description and application of structure and energy information in all domains of chemistry.
We welcome the broadest range of accounts of research in structural chemistry involving the discussion of methodologies and structures,experimental, theoretical, and computational, and their combinations. We encourage discussions of structural information collected for their chemicaland biological significance.
