Abstract

Four dinuclear N-heterocyclic carbene–palladium(II) complexes 14 were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods. The X-ray crystal structure of complex 2 showed a dinuclear framework in which N-heterocyclic ligands bridge between two square planar palladium(II) units. Each palladium center is surrounded by an imidazolylidene, a nitrogen atom from the central linking ligand, and two trans-chloride ligands. These dinuclear NHC–palladium(II) complexes exhibited efficient catalytic activities for the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of aryl and benzyl chlorides with arylboronic acids.
