The reaction between Pd(dmpe)Me2, where dmpe = 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane, and [NH4]PF6, [NH4]BPh4, [NH3Et]BPh4, [NH2Et2]BF4, [NH2Et2]BPh4, [NHEt3]BPh4, [NH2iPr2]BPh4, and [1-methylimidazolium]BPh4 in CH2Cl2 or CH3CN solvent rapidly produces CH4 and the corresponding amine complexes [Pd(dmpe)CH3(NRR'R'')]X, 1-8, respectively. All can be isolated as crystalline solids in 57-87% yield. Crystals of 1 belong to the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with lattice constants a = 8.378 (5) angstrom, b = 16.696 (8) angstrom, c = 12.024 (5) angstrom, beta = 103.91 (4)-degrees, and Z = 4. 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with lattice constants a = 9.986 (3) angstrom, b = 11.024 (4) angstrom, c = 29.601 (9) angstrom, beta = 92.69 (2)-degrees, and Z = 4. 4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn with lattice constants a = 13.181 (4) angstrom, b = 23.897 (7) angstrom, c = 24.854 (9) angstrom, and Z = 16. 6 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with lattice constants a = 9.566 (4) angstrom, b = 21.773 (7) angstrom, c = 17.662 (5) angstrom, beta = 90.62 (3)-degrees, and Z = 4. Least-squares refinement of the structures led to R factors of 0.047, 0.054, 0.055, and 0.054, respectively. All complexes adopt a square-planar geometry with angle distortions in the plane, which parallel the increasing size of the amine. The Pd-N bond lengths of 2.139 (5), 2.174 (6), 2.182 (8), and 2.244 (7) angstrom in 1, 3, 4, and 6 correlate linearly with the steric cone angle for the amine ligands. The Pd-N bond length in 6 exceeds that of 2.201 (3) angstrom for the trans Pd-P bond, which reflects severe steric crowding for the triethylamine ligand. Cone angles for these and other amines were determined from geometric measurements of CPK models. Equilibrium binding constants for 16 amine ligands to the Pd(dmpe)Me+ Lewis acid were measured by variable-temperature P-31 NMR spectroscopy. Binding constants for amines of similar pK(a) correlate well with the amine cone angles, theta; however, a steric threshold was observed when theta less-than-or-equal-to 120-degrees. Binding constants, relative to the NHEt2 complex, K, for the ligands obeyed the relationship log K = 8.1 + 0.54pK(a) -0.15-theta, with a correlation coefficient of 0.95. This shows a dependence on both electronic and steric properties of the amine ligands. Of the various amine ligands studied, 1-methylimidazole and ethylamine bind most effectively. This parallels the role of histidine and lysine for binding metals in metalloproteins.
