Abstract:The excellent catalytic activities of abnormal NHC carbene complexes, where the C2 position remains unaffected, and coordination occurs at the C4 or C5 position of the imidazolium ring, is still a fascinating but scarce area of research. This present work reports a palladium complex (LPdBr) bearing abnormal NHC with CNN pincer architecture. It is synthesized from imidazolium‐based quinoline ligand (LH) with Pd(OAc)2 via ‐NH and carbene deprotonation. The complex was fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy (1D … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
