A series of novel binuclear Pd (II) complexes of the type [(PPh3) 2ClPd (L) PdCl][where L= dianionic bridged ligands derived from 2-oxo-1, 2-dihydroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde or its derivatives with o-aminophenol/o-aminothiophenol] have been reported. The new complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–Vis and NMR (1H and 31P) spectroscopic techniques. The coordination mode of the ligands and the ...
