Synthesis and characterization of new chiral palladium β-diimine complexes

The synthesis and characterization of a range of chiral β-diimine ligands and their complexes with palladium(II) has been investigated. The introduction of chirality can be easily achieved through a combination of both achiral and chiral building blocks. The absolute configuration of the stereochemical centers has been determined. In addition, representative X-ray structures of both ligands and complexes have been determined.
