Abstract

A series of Pd complexes of picoline-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbenes with different substituents were synthesized. The molecular structures of selected complexes were determined by X-ray diffraction studies, showing a pseudo-square-planar structure with a Pd center surrounded by carbene, pyridine, and two chloride ligands. The influence of the different substituents on the structure and reactivity of the complexes has been studied. The catalytic properties of the complexes were investigated in the Mizoroki–Heck reaction for cross-coupling of bromobenzene with a variety of aryl halides. Their performances varied in these reactions but showed good product regioselectivities.
