The pincer complexes [Pd(O1,N1,C1-L)X], where X = Cl, Br and L is the monoanionic ligand resulting from deprotonation of the acetyl methyl group of the monoketal of 2,6-diacetylpyridine (dap), react with excess of Cl2 or Br2 affording, quantitatively, the Pd(IV) complexes [Pd(O1,N1,C1-L)X3], which have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, and their decomposition that quantitatively affords the reductive elimination products L–X has been studied.
