13C NMR of Pd–aryl complexes. Chemical shifts and Pd π-back-bonding

13C NMR spectra for a series of dinuclear acetate‐bridged cyclopalladated N‐methyl‐N‐nitrosoanilines and several mononuclear ortho‐substituted palladium–aryl complexes with the chelating nitrogen ligands TMEDA and bipyridine were recorded. The coordination chemical shifts for the para carbons in the Pd–aryl ring, Δδ C4 (= δ C4 complex −δ C4 ligand), are found to be ca −3 to −6 ppm. Despite the possibility that these low‐frequency shifts might arise from delocalization of electrons from the palladium(II), it is suggested that these observations are not directly related to increased electron density at this carbon center.

2-(Aminomethyl)phenyl complexes of Au(III), mixed Au(III)/Ag(I), and Pd(II) with the 2,2-diacetyl-1,1-ethylenedithiolato ligand: dancing of palladacycles around a juggler ligand.

The reaction of [Tl(2){mu-S,S-S(2)C=C{C(O)Me}(2)}] with [Au(C,N-C(6)H(4)CH(2)NMe(2)-2)Cl(2)] (1:1) gives [{Au(C,N-C(6)H(4)CH(2)NMe(2)-2)}{S,S-S(2)C=C{C(O)Me}(2)}] (1) which, in turn, reacts with AgClO(4) (1:1) to give [{Au(C,N-C(6)H(4)CH(2)NMe(2)-2)}{Ag(OClO(3))}{S(2)C=C{C(O)Me}(2)}] (2). Complexes [{Au(C,N-C(6)H(4)CH(2)NMe(2)-2)}{Ag(X)(PPh(3))}{S(2)C=C{C(O)Me}(2)}] [X = OClO(3) (3), ONO(2) (4)] have been obtained by reaction of 1 with PPh(3) and AgClO(4) or AgNO(3), respectively (1:1:1). Complex 3 can also be obtained by reacting 2 with PPh(3) (1:1). Complexes [Pd(C,N-C(6)H(4)CH(2)NR(2)-2)(mu-Cl)](2) (R = Me, H) react (i) with [Tl(2){S(2)C=C{C(O)Me}(2)}] and [PPN]Cl (0.5:1:1, PPN = Ph(3)P=N=PPh(3)) to form PPN[Pd(C,N-C(6)H(4)CH(2)NR(2)-2){S,S-S(2)C=C{C(O)Me}(2)}] [R = H (5a), Me (5b)], or (ii) with [Tl(2){S(2)C=C{C(O)Me}(2)}] (1:1) to form [{Pd(C,N-C(6)H(4)CH(2)NR(2)-2)}(2){mu-S,S,O-S(2)C=C{C(O)Me}(2)}] [R = H (6a), Me (6b)]. The trinuclear complexes [{Pd(C,N-C(6)H(4)CH(2)NR(2)-2)}(3){mu(3)-O,S,S,O-S(2)C=C{C(O)Me}(2)}]ClO(4) [R = H (7a), Me (7b)] can be prepared by reacting the corresponding dinuclear complex 6a or 6b with [Pd(C,N-C(6)H(4)CH(2)NR(2)-2)(NCMe)(2)]ClO(4) (1:1). The crystal structures of 1, 6b x CH(2)Cl(2), and 7b x CH(2)Cl(2) have been determined. NMR studies have been carried out to explain the solution behavior of these complexes. VT-NMR and line shape analysis for the species where R = Me (5b, 6b, 7b) have allowed the estimation of the activation parameters for these exchange processes.
