Palladium Complexes Bearing Z-type PAlP Pincer Ligands

Abstract

Palladium complexes with pincer-type ligands containing a Z-type aluminum moiety are synthesized by the reaction of palladium(0) precursors with aluminum-containing diphosphine ligands. Chlorine on the aluminum center can be substituted by methyl and triflate groups to control the electronic and steric properties of the aluminum ligands.
