Abstract

A series of novel tricyclohexylphosphine (PCy3)-cyclopalladated ferrocenylimine complexes 2c–2g have been easily synthesized. These new palladacycles are thermally stable and are not sensitive to air and moisture. Their detailed structures have been determined by single- crystal X-ray analysis and six different types of intermolecular hydrogen bonds are found to be existed in the crystals of these complexes. The use of 2c–2g as catalysts for Suzuki and ...
