First Example of Monometallic Palladium(II) Compound with Trans-Chelating Tridentate Ligand: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Characterizations

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The reaction of (COD)PdCl 2 with new C 3 -symmetric tridentate L (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadien; L = 1,3,5- tris(picolinoyloxyethyl)cyanurate) in a mixture of acetone and dichloromethane produces single crystals consisting of unprecedented monometallacyclic [PdCl 2 (L)]. This cyclic compound arises from trans-chelation of two of three donating pyridyl groups of L, while the third pyridyl group remains uncoordinated. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) data on L exhibited the major peak corresponding to [C 27 H 24 N 6 O 9 + H + ] + . Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB- MS) data on [PdCl 2 (L)], however, showed the mass peak corresponding to the L instead of the present palladium(II) compound species, due to the insolubility and dissociation in solution. The physicochemical properties of the present palladium(II) compound were fully characterized by means of infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, thermal analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) measurement.
