Experimental and computational study of a reductive elimination mechanism in a methyl–Pd(ii)–CNC carbene complex

Abstract

Experimental and density functional studies on the decomposition of a novel palladiummethyl complex of the rigid CNC ligand 2,6-bis(1-alkylimidazolin-2-yliden-3-yl)pyridine show that reductive elimination to give 2-methylimidazolium species is a facile reaction.
