Abstract
A series of di- and tri-nuclear Pd(II) complexes with piperidoimidazolin-2-ylidenes anchored to benzene ring via methylene spacers were synthesized. The obtained complexes were fully characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Molecular structures of two of the products have been determined by means of X-ray crystallography. Their catalytic performances in Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions were thoroughly investigated. The catalytic reactivity of new di- and tri-metallic complexes was compared with the monometallic systems. It is observed that the activities of the tri-nuclear Pd(NHC) complexes were higher than the corresponding mono- and di-nuclear complexes under the same conditions.
