Abstract

The poly(pyrazol-1-ylmefhyl)benzenes L1-L5 react with [PdCl 2(NCMe)2] or [PdClMe(COD)] to form dinuclear palladium complexes [{PdClX(3,5-Me2pzCH2)2-1,2-C 6H4}2] (X = Cl (1), Me (2)), [{PdCl 2(3,5-Me2pzCH2)2-1,3-C 6H4}2] (3), palladium complexes [{Pd 2(μ-Cl)2Me2(3,5Me2pzCH 2)2-1,3-C6H4}] (4), [{Pd 2(μ-Cl)2X2(3,5-Me2pzCH 2)2-1,4-C6H4}] (X = Cl (5), Me (6)), [{Pd2(μ-Cl)2Cl2(3,5-'Bu 2pzCH2)2-1,4-C6H4}] (7), and tetranuclear [{Pd2(μ-Cl)2Cl2(3,5Me 2pzCH2)2}2-1,4-C6H 4] (8). The structures of 1, 2 and 8 were confirmed by X-ray structure analysis. The complexes efficiently catalyse the coupling reaction of iodobenzene and butylacrylate at 80 °C
