Abstract
Indazolin-3-ylidenes (indy) are among the most strongly donating N-heterocyclic carbenes, but the structural diversity of their complexes is still limited. Two dimeric palladium(II) complexes, [PdBr2(indy-5)]2 (2a) and [PdBr2(indy-6)]2 (2b) (indy-5 = 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-a]indazolin-3-ylidene, indy-6 = 6,7,8,9-tetrahydropyridazino[1,2-a]indazolin-3-ylidene], bearing indazolin-3-ylidene ligands with different sizes of the fused aliphatic ring can be obtained by silver carbene transfer. The reaction of these dimers with pyridine yielded trans-[PdBr2(indy)(pyridine)] complexes (3a,b), while the poorly soluble monophosphine complexes cis-[PdBr2(indy)(PPh3)] (4a,b) were obtained by reaction with triphenylphosphine. Ligand substitution of the latter with silver trifluoroacetate afforded cis-[Pd(O2CCF3)2(indy)(PPh3)] complexes (5a,b) with improved solubilities, allowing for their detailed characterizations. In the presence of sodium tetrafluoroborate, cationic bis(phosphine) complexes trans-[PdBr(PPh3)2][...
