Palladium(II) benzisothiazolinate (bit) complexes with amino-, acetylamino-, heterocyclic and phosphine co-ligands. Crystal structure of [Pd(bit)2(κ2-dppe)]·2EtOH

A series of square-planar palladium(II) benzisothiazolinate (bit) of the general type [Pd(bit)2L2] have been prepared and characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods. Two synthetic routes have been employed, namely reactions of [Pd(bit)2]·H2O with two equivalents of ligands (L = amine, amide, phosphine) or displacement of chloride by benzisothiazolinate starting from trans-[PdCl2L2].
