摘要:
                                The cyclometallation of anthracen-9-ylmethylene-phenyl-amine with palladium(II) acetate and with the system PdCl2, NaCl and NaOAc . 3H(2)O is studied. In both cases, the Cl-H bond activation of the anthracen-9-yl group takes place, affording an entry to a new type of endocyclic six-membered cyclopalladated organic imine that contains a metallated aromatic carbon atom.
