Halo(2- N- dihapto-aromatic oxime)palladium(II) carbonyl compounds containing palladium-carbon σ-bonds have been synthesized by bridge-splitting reactions of di-μ-halobis(2, N- dihapto-aromatic oxime)dipalladium(II) (halogen (halogen z.dbnd; Cl, Br, or I) with carbon monoxide. These compounds are very stable in a dry atmosphere, and their structures, which include strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds, are discussed in terms of their IR spectra. The CO and OH stretching frequencis show a marked dependence on the nature of the halogen; v(CO), Cl- ⪢ Br- ⪢ I-complex and v(OH), I- ⪢ Br- ⪢ Cl-complex. These variations are predominantly due to inductive effects.
