    Author: Marziale AN, Herdtweck E, Eppinger J, Schneider S.
    Journal: Inorg Chem; 2009 Apr 20; 48(8):3699-709. PubMed ID: 19281205.
    Abstract:
    Palladium(II) aminodiphosphine PNP pincer complexes [PdR(PNP(H))]PF(6) (1(R); R = Cl Me, Ph; PNP(H) = HN(CH(2)CH(2)P(i)Pr(2))(2)) were prepared. Deprotonation with KO(t)Bu affords dialkylamides [PdR(PNP)] (2(R); R = Cl Me, Ph; PNP = (NCH(2)CH(2)P(i)Pr(2))(2)) in high yield which are stable toward beta-H elimination. While AgPF(6) oxidizes the amides, cationic amido complexes [PdL(PNP)]PF(6) (3(L); L = CN(t)Bu, PMe(3)) were obtained upon chloride abstraction from 1(Cl) with TlPF(6). The reaction of amide 2(Cl) with MeOTf results in N-methylation yielding [PdCl(PNP(Me))]OTf (5) quantitatively. N-H acidities of the amino complexes 1(Me) (pK(a) = 24.2(1)) and 1(Ph) (pK(a) = 23.2(1)) were determined in dmso. Complexes 1(Cl), 1(Me), 2(Cl) 2(Me), 3(CNtBu), and 5 were structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The amido complexes feature pyramidal nitrogen atoms in the solid state. The molecular structures, high N-basicity, and reactivity of the amido complexes can be explained with Pd-N(amido) bonding that is characterized by strong N-->Pd sigma-donation and repulsive d(pi)-p(pi) pi-interactions. This interpretation was confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations of 2(Cl).
