The reaction of the Ph2As anion with 1,8-bis(2-bromoethoxy) anthracene-9,10-dione in 2: 1 ratio generates 1,8-bis(2-diphenylarsinoethoxy) anthracene-9,10-dione (L1). L1 and 1,8-bis(2-phenylselenoethoxy) anthraquinone (L2) reacted with bis(benzonitrile) palladium(II) chloride in 1: 1 ratio yielding Pd(L1)Cl-2 (1) and Pd(L2)Cl-2 (2). X-ray structures of 1 and 2 revealed that L1 and L2 chelate with Pd(II) and form a convex square planar geometry. The catalytic properties of both Pd(II) complexes in the Heck reaction was investigated, and the results show that compound 2 acts as a better catalyst than 1. The redox behavior of L1, 1 and 2 versus Ag/AgCl are also explored. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
