Abstract

A series of ortho-phenylene bridged palladium bis-NHC complexes has been synthesized. Complexes with imidazolium and benzimidazolium derived NHCs and methyl-/benzyl- wingtips are reported. Bis (benz) imidazoles with a doubly brominated ortho-phenylene bridge could be obtained by an electrophilic substitution reaction. The structure of the complexes could be confirmed by three solid-state structures. All catalysts have been ...
