Abstract

Orange crystals of (PPh4)2[Pd2Cl4(NH2)2] have been prepared by the reaction of (PPh4)2[Pd2Cl6] with N,N,N′-tris(trimethylsilyl)benzamidine in boiling acetonitrile in the presence of water, and orange brown crystals of PPh4{[Ph—C(NH2)(NH)]PdCl3} by the reaction of the amidinato complex PPh4[Ph—C(NSiMe3)2PdCl2] with HCl gas in acetonitrile solution. The complexes were characterized by IR spectroscopy as well as by X-ray structure determinations. (PPh4)2[Pd2Cl4(NH2)2] · CH2Cl2: Space group PĪ, Z = 1, 2784 observed unique reflections, R = 0.043. Lattice dimensions at —60 °C: a = 1053.3(4), b = 1081.1(4), c = 1249.2(4) pm, α = 102.90(2)°, β = 110.44(2)°, γ = 102.23(2)°. The compound consists of PPh4 + ions and centrosymmetric anions [Pd2Cl4(NH2)2]2- with bridging chlorine atoms and terminal amido groups. PPh4{[Ph—C(NH2)(NH)]PdCl3} -CH3CN: Space group C2/c, Z = 8, 1183 observed unique reflections, R = 0.033. Lattice dimensions at —60 °C: a = 3106.7(6), b = 1059.0(1), c = 1818.0(4) pm, β = 90.98(2)°. The compound consists of PPh4 + ions, [Ph—C(NH2)(NH)PdCl3]-ions, and included CH3CN molecules. In the anion the benzamidine ligand is bound via the nitrogen atom of the imido group.
