X-ray and spectroscopy studies of antisymbiotic effect O-coordination of the 4-methoxy benzoyl methylene triphenyl phosphorane ligand in palladium(II) complex

The reaction of phosphorus ylide MOBPPY with palladium (II) cationic complex is reported. This reaction leads to mononuclear complex (1). O-coordination of ylides and cisoid structure of complex was demonstrated by single-crystal X-ray analyses and spectroscopy.
