Non-innocent reactivity of bis-phosphinimine pincer ligands in palladium complexes.
Although the Pd complex of the bis-phosphinimine pincer ligand 1,3-C(6)H(3)(CH(2)N=PPh(3))(2) is accessible, this ligand is also non-innocent in the formation of a phosphinimine-aminophosphine pincer complex; as well, both complexes undergo hydride abstraction generating unique formally cationic ligand complexes.
