Symmetrical bis-(NHC) palladium(II) complexes: Synthesis, structure, and application in catalysis

The synthesis and characterization of symmetrically substituted bis-N-heterocyclic carbene palladium(II) complexes with a functional group attached to the bridging moiety is described, as well as the immobilization of one of them on polystyrene Wang resin. The resulting complexes were tested both in homogeneous and heterogeneous Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions.

Symmetrically substituted bis-N-heterocyclic carbene palladium(II) complexes with a functional group attached to the bridging moiety are prepared, characterized, immobilized and applied for catalytic Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
