摘要:
The synthesis, structures, and reactivity of neutral and cationic Pd(II) complexes incorporating bis(pyrazolyl)methane ligands are described. The reaction of(CH3CN)(2)PdCl2 with the appropriate bis(pyrazoyl)methane in CH2Cl2 yields {Ph2C(3-Bu-t-pz)(2)}PdCl2 (1) and {Ph2C(pz)(2)}PdCl2 (2). Steric crowding associated with the Bu-t groups of 1 increases the puckering of the chelate ring (boat conformation) and retards the chelate ring inversion relative to 2. The reaction of {Me2C(pz)(2)}PdMe2 (3) with [HNMe2Ph][B(C6F5)(4)] yields (Me2C(pz)(2)}PdMe(NMe2Ph)(+) (4a, B(C6F5)(4)(-) salt), while treatment of 3 with [H(OEt2)(2)][B{3,5(CF3)(2)C6H3}(4)] yields (Me2C(pz)(2)}PdMe(OEt2)(+) (4b, B{3,5-(CF3)(2)C6H3)(4)(-) salt). Complex 4a reacts with ethylene at -60 degrees C (CD2Cl2) to yield {Me2C(pz)(2))PdMe(CH2=CH2)(+) (5, B(C6F5)(4)(-) salt) and free NMe2Ph. Cation 5 undergoes ethylene insertion at -10 degrees C and oligomerizes ethylene (1 atm) to predominantly linear internal C-8 to C-24 olefins (ca. 0.1 branches per 2 carbons) at 23 degrees C.
