Reactions of orthometallated binuclear palladium complexes with NaER, obtained by NaBH(4) reduction of R(2)E(2) in methanol, gave complexes, [Pd(2)(mu-ER)(2)(C(boolean AND)Y)(2)] (HC(boolean AND)Y= N,N-dimethylbenzylamine (C(6)H(5)CH(2)NMe(2)), N,N-dimethylnaphthylamine (C(10)H(7)NMe(2)), tri-o-tolylphosphine P(tol-o)(3)}; ER= SePh, SeMes, TePh, TeMes (Mes = 2,4,6-Me(3)C(6)H(2)). Similar reactions of [Pd(2)(mu-Cl)(2)(C(10)H(6)NMe(2)-C, N)(2)] with Pb(SMes)(2) or MesSH in the presence of NaHCO(3) gave chloro/thiolato-bridged complex [Pd(2)(mu-Cl)(mu-SMes)(C(10)H(6)NMe(2)-C, N)(2)]. The newly synthesized complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR, NMR ((1)H, (13)C, (31)P, (77)Se, (125)Te) spectroscopy. These complexes crystallized out preferentially in sym-cis configuration. A low energy charge transfer transition has been identified from chalcogenolate centers to an empty pi* orbital of cyclometallated ligand in absorption spectroscopy in these complexes. The structures of [Pd(2)(mu-Cl)(mu-SMes)(C(10)H(6)NMe(2)-C, N)(2)] (1) and [Pd(2)(mu-SePh)(2)(C(10)H(6)NMe(2)-C, N)(2)] (3) have been established by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. In the former, the two palladium atoms are held together by chloro and thiolato bridges whereas in the latter, the two phenylselenolato ligands bridge two palladium atoms. The pyrolysis of [Pd(mu-TeMes)(C(10)H(6)NMe(2)-C, N)](2) (10) in a furnace gave Pd(7)Te(3) whereas thermolysis in TOPO afforded primarily PdTe(2). (C) 2008 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
