Abstract
A series of complexes of the type (PNP-H_2)PdX_2 (X = Cl, Br, I) have been synthesized, where PNP-H_2 is a bis(secondary)phosphine ligand linked by a pyridine, 2,6-(Ph(H)P)_2(C_5H_3N). Due to chirality at phosphorus, the parent ligand exists as a mixture of nearly equivalent rac and meso diastereomers non-interconverting at room temperature. When ligated to Pd(II) halides, however, the diastereomeric ratio is dependent upon the halide. The chloro, bromo, and iodo complexes have been characterized crystallographically. Conformationally similar meso diastereomers of each dihalide are roughly C_s symmetric in the solid state, while the rac diastereomers (identified only for X = Br, I) show substantially different solid-state conformations.
