Complexing between palladium(II) halides and p-NOC6H4NMe2 and p-NOC6H4NEt2

Abstract

The complexes PdL2X2 (L = p-nitrosodimethylaniline, p-nitrosodiethylaniline; X = Cl, Br, I) have been prepared. The principal absorption band in the visible spectra of the complexes has been identified as a π–π* transition centered primarily on the ligands on the basis of its high oscillator strength, the similarity of the latter to that of the free organic ligand, and the insensitivity of the band position to the nature of the halide. Infrared data indicate that palladium is bonded through the NO group.
