Description:
palladium complexes of ferrocenyl-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbenes with different substituents were synthesized. The molecular structures of selected complexes were determined by X-ray diffraction and show a pseudo-square-planar structure with a central palladium atom surrounded by carbene, pyridine, and two chloride ligands. The influence of the different substituents on the structure and reactivity of the complexes was studied. The catalytic properties of the complexes were investigated in the Larock indolization reactions of 2-bromoanilines with diphenylacetylene. Their performances slightly varied in this reaction, but the complex with mesityl substituent showed the best activity.
