The synthesis of a di-N-heterocyclic carbene-amido complex of palladium(II).
A diimidazolium salt incorporating a secondary amine moiety has been used to prepare a palladium(II) di-N-heterocyclic carbene amino complex that can be deprotonated with NaH to give the first example of a transition metal NHC-amide.
