Abstract
The crystalline heteroditopic, acyclic, and nonenolizable imino-N-heterocyclic carbene chelating ligand 1-tert-butyl-3-(1- phenyliminophenylmethylene)imidazol-2-ylidene (designated as CAimine) has been isolated and structurally characterized. The metal complexes [Pd(CAimine)Cl 2], [Pd(allyl)(CAimine)]-PF6, [Rh(COD)(CAimine)]PF 6, and [Rh(CO)(CAimine)2]Cl have been prepared either by Ag transfer or by reaction with the free carbene. The palladium(II) complexes have been tested for catalytic application in Suzuki type C-C cross-coupling reactions of aryl bromides and the rhodium(I) complexes for the catalytic hydroformylation of 1-octene. The metal complexes [Pd(CAimine)Cl2], [Pd(allyl)(CAimine)]-PF6, and [Rh(CO)(CAimine)2]Cl have been structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
