Cyclometalation vs. Werner-type coordination of sterically enforced palladium(II)-1,3-bis(pyridyl-2-imino)isoindolines (Pd-BPIs).
The reaction of 1,3-bis(4,6-dimethylpyridyl-2-imino)isoindoline and palladium acetate in methanol selectively yields the expected acetato palladium N,N,N-chelate or a cyclometalated tetranuclear dimer depending on the stoichiometry of the reactants.
