New (κ2-C,N)-palladacyclic complexes with benzimidazol-2-ylidene ligand: Synthesis, crystal structures and characterization

Reaction of unsymmetrical benzimidazolium bromides with Ag2O and subsequent transmetallation with chloro-bridged dinuclear palladacycle, [Pd(dmba)(μ-Cl)]2 (dmba: N,N-dimethylbenzylamine) afforded benzannulated monocarbene complexes [Pd(dmba)(NHC)Cl].
