A reaction between equimolar amounts of cis-[PdCl2(CNCy)2] (1) and indazole (HInd, 2) or 5-methylindazole (HIndMe, 3) proceeded in refluxing CHCl3 for ca. 6 h affording the aminocarbene species cis-[PdCl2{C(Ind)
N(H)Cy}(CNCy)] (4) or cis-[PdCl2{C(IndMe)
N(H)Cy}(CNCy)] (5) in good (72–83%) isolated yields. Complexes 4 and 5 were characterized by elemental analyses (C, H, N), HR ESI+-MS, IR, and 1D (1H, 13C{1H}) and 2D (1H,1H-COSY, 1H,13C-HMQC/1H,13C-HSQC, 1H,13C-HMBC) NMR spectroscopies, and complex 4 as well by X-ray diffraction. The observed coupling represents the first example of metal-mediated integration between any isocyanide and any aromatic heterocyclic system having an HN center.
