Abstract
The reaction of 2-[3-(diphenylphosphino)propyl]thiophene ( P- S3) with equimolar amount of dichlorobis(benzonitrile)palladium(II) [PdCl 2(PhCN) 2] afforded the binuclear complex trans-[Pd(μ-Cl)Cl(P-S3)] 2 ( I) with the P- S3 acting as a monodentate ligand bonded through the phosphorus atom. However, when P- S3 was allowed to react with dichlorobis(benzonitrile)palladium(II) in a 2:1 molar ratio, the monomeric complex trans-[PdCl 2(P-S3) 2] ( II) has been isolated. Complex II was also isolated from the reaction of complex I and P- S3 ligand in a 1:2 molar ratio. Complexes I and II and P- S3 were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H, 13C and 31P NMR. Single crystal X-ray structures of I and II, which crystallize in the triclinic space group P 1 ¯ , have been determined.
