Abstract

Navy blue crystals of a two-coordinate homoleptic palladium complex with two phosphinyl radical ligands was synthesized by a simple ligand-exchange reaction. Significant π interactions between orbitals of Pd and the SOMO of phosphinyl radicals are responsible for the diamagnetic character, the intense blue color, and short PPd distances. Hydrogenation of the complex gave the corresponding bis(dialkylhydrophosphine)palladium complex.
