Abstract

In an effort to improve upon a literature synthesis of bis [tris (o-tolyl) phosphine] palladium (0)(1) from tris (o-tolyl) phosphine and Pd2 (dba) 3, we instead isolated a new compound which proved to have the composition Pd (dba)[P (o-Tol) 3] 2 (2), upon analysis by X-ray crystallography. While this is not the first known palladium compound containing both dba and phosphine ligands, it is, to our knowledge, the first containing dba and tris (o-tolyl) ...
