Abstract

Abstract Reaction of a diphosphine ligand, bis[4-[2-(diphenylphosphino)ethyl]phenyl] ether (1) with Na2PdCl4 gave a macrocyclic dinuclear complex [PdCl2(μ-1)]2 (2) in a 58% isolated yield. The formation of 2 appears to result from a spontaneous self-assembly process under thermodynamic control, and thus, no special technique such as a high-dilution method was needed.
