Use of amido Grignard reagents in inorganic chemistry. Synthesis and crystal structure of anti-[Pd(Cl)(py)(µ-2,6-Prⁱ₂ C₆H₃NH)]₂

Abstract

Treating a pyridine (py) solution of PdCl₂(py)₂ with a tetrahydrofuran or diethyl ether solution of the amido Grignard reagent 2,6-Prⁱ₂C₆H₃NH(MgCl) afforded a dimeric palladium complex, containing two bridging amido groups, which has been structurally characterised.
