Palladium complexes of 6-aminofulvene-2-aldiminate (AFA) ligands

Abstract

Bis(N,N′-2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-6-aminofulvene-2-aldimine (4) has been synthesised and characterised. The synthesis and characterisation of two zwitterionic Pd(II) complexes [(Ph2AFA)Pd(Me)DMAP] (1) and [(Ph2AFA)Pd(N,N-dimethylbenzylamine-2-C,N)] (2) are reported. Activation of 1 and 2 for ethene polymerisation with Lewis acids such as BF3 and B(C6F5)3 were not successful. Attempted synthesis of halide-bridged dimers of the form [(Ph2AFA)Pd(μ-X)]2 resulted in formation of bis-chelated complexes [(Cy2AFA)2Pd] (3) and [(tBu2AFA)2Pd] (5).
