The Al(I) bisimidinate Al(DDP) as a metalloid NHC type ligand for Pd(0) complexes and clusters.
Two clusters with a Pd2 core and Al(DDP) (DDP = 2-((2,6-diisopropylphenyl)amino)-4-((2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino)-2-pentene) as a bridging ligand have been synthesized and characterized by single crystal structural analysis; the results suggest a strong similarity of the coordination properties of NHC's and the group 13 analogue Al(DDP).
