Two-Coordinate 13-Electron PdI Complexes Stabilized by the Bulky DIMeIHeptCl NHC Ligand.

Monomeric, two-coordinate 13-electron PdI complexes are exceptionally rare due to their intrinsic instability and propensity for dimerization. In this study, we report that the bulky N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand DiMeIHeptCl (1,3-bis[2,6-bis(1-propylbutyl)phenyl]-4,5-dichloro-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene) en...
