Abstract
Abstract The complex chloride, Pd(Ph2Pqn)2Cl2 (Ph2Pqn = 8-(diphenylphosphino)quinoline), crystallized either in yellow plates (1a: from CH2Cl2/Et2O) or in orange needles (1b: from MeOH/Et2O). The corresponding bromide, Pd(Ph2Pqn)2Br2, initially deposited as yellow block crystals (2a) from MeOH/Et2O, turned to orange prisms (2b) on standing in the mother liquor. The X-ray crystallographic analyses of 1a and 2a revealed that two Cl− and Br− anions, respectively, were located above and below the square-planar PdII coordination plane of cis(P)-[Pd(Ph2Pqn)2]2+. Although the distances of Pd···Cl (3.262(3) and 3.386(3) Å) and Pd···Br (3.432(2) and 3.505(2) Å) in 1a and 2a, respectively, were too long for a bonding interaction between PdII and X−, weak PdII···X− charge-transfer interactions seem to be responsible for the yellow colors of these crystals. In contrast, in 2b, the PdII formed an elongated square-pyramidal five-coordinate complex, [Pd(Ph2Pqn)2Br]+, with a somewhat long Pd–Br bond (3.0136(8) Å) at the apical position. The crystal structure of Pd(Ph2Pqn)2ClBF4 (4) revealed that the PdII center in 4 took an extremely distorted square-planar coordination geometry with the Pd–Cl bond of 2.375(2) Å, while one of the Ph2Pqn ligands coordinated through only P; cis(P)-[PdCl(Ph2Pqn-κP,N)(Ph2Pqn-κP)]BF4.
