Abstract

AbstractWe report the stepwise synthesis of a novel series of heterometallic gold(I)/palladium(II) complexes supported by heteroditopic imidazol‐2‐ylidene/triazol‐5‐ylidene ligands. All new compounds were characterized by means of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, melting points, and elemental analyses. The versatility of the ligand platforms, additionally allows for the preparation of cationic chelate biscarbenic palladium(II) complexes through full deprotonation of the mixed azolium precursors. Characterization studies were completed by the determination of the molecular structures of some synthetic intermediates. The new biscarbenic palladium(II) complexes were tested as catalysts in the cross‐coupling of boronic acid to a variety of chloroarenes and the hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes. Both catalytic processes provide good to excellent yields under low catalyst loadings.
