Synthesis and ligand substitution reactions of a homoleptic acetonitrile dipalladium(i) complexElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: NMR spectroscopic data and elemental analysis for 6 and 7. See http://www.rsc.org/suppdata/cc/b0/b004726k/
Abstract
The first homoleptic nitrile dipalladium(I) complex [Pd2(CH3CN)6][BF4]2 is prepared; the CH3CN ligand undergoes facile displacement by phosphine or bidentate nitrogen ligands while the Pd–Pd bond remains intact.
