Synthesis and dehydrative condensation of square-planar mono- and dinuclear hydroxopalladium complexes with the hydrotris(3,5-diisopropylpyrazolyl)borato ligand (TpiPr2), TpiPr2(Py)Pd-OH, and (mu-OH)2[PdTpiPr2(H2O)]2.
Mono- and dinuclear hydroxopalladium complexes (kappa 2-TpiPr2,X)(py)Pd-OH (1; X = H, Br) and (mu-OH)2[Pd(kappa 2-TpiPr2)(H2O)]2 (2) are prepared by base hydrolysis of the corresponding chloride complexes (kappa 2-TpiPr2,X)(py)Pd-Cl (3) and (mu-Cl)2[Pd(kappa 3-TpiPr2)]2 (4), respectively. Functionalization of the OH part in 1 is effected via dehydrative condensation with protic substrates (H-A) to give a series of substituted products, (kappa 2-TpiPr)(py)Pd-A (5), and treatment of the dinuclear complex 2 with excess acetic acid affords the mononuclear diacetato complex 6, (kappa 2-TpiPr2-H)Pd(OAc)2(HOAc). Complexes 1-4 and 6 have been characterized crystallographically, and it is revealed that complexes 2 and 6 involve cyclic hydrogen-bonding interaction among the nitrogen atom of the pendent noncoordinated pyrazolyl group, the hydrogen atom in the protic part of the ligand (OH, AcOH), and, in the case of 2, an external water molecule.
