Abstract

Abstract Three cyclopalladated complexes of 2-(m-nitrophenyl) imidazolines have been easily prepared and characterized by spectroscopic analysis. The structure of one of the complexes has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The complexes are effective catalysts for the Suzuki reaction of aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid in aqueous solution at room temperature under air.
