Competition between 3d metals(II) and palladium(II) in the reaction of heterobimetallic complexes Pd(μ-OOCMe)4M(OH2) (M=Ni, Co, Mn) with azobenzene
摘要:
The reaction of Pd-II(mu-OOCMe)(4)M-II(OH2) (M = Ni, Co, Mn) with azobenzene under mild conditions produces the homonuclear complex with ortho-metallated azobenzene (PhN = NC6H4)(2)Pd-2(mu-OOCMe)(2) (4) in higher than 90% yield as the sole Pd-containing reaction product, while the co-metals are recovered as the corresponding M-II acetates.
