Abstract

Palladium complexes of two different P,N ligands (a phosphane-pyridine and a phosphane-imine ligand) were synthesized and characterized. Single crystal X-ray structure analyses of the palladium diiodide compounds revealed a square-planar coordination geometry at the metal center with a longer Pd-I bond in trans-position to the phosphorus atom. The chloro-methyl palladium species of the phosphane-pyridine ligand was applied for the oligomerization of ethene using a borate salt as cocatalyst.
