A series of new neutral and cationic palladium (II) complexes of type [Pd (LL) X2](5, 6, 9, 10),[Pd (LL) Y2](BF4) 2 (7, 8, 11, 12) and [Pd (η3-C6H9)(LL)](PF6)(13, 14),(LL= 1, 2-bis (N- indolinyl) ethane (BIE,(BIE, 3), 1, 2-bis (N-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroquinolinyl) ethane (BTQE, 4); X= Cl, NO3; Y= MeCN, H2O) have been prepared and characterized. These investigations show that BIE and BTQE can lead to chiral C2-symmetric complexes, as well as to the ...
