Palladium complexes of o-xylyl-linked alkoxybenzimidazolin-2-ylidenes: interesting structural conformations and application as pre-catalysts

New PdBr2-bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes derived from 4,7-dibutoxybenzimidazole and 5,6-dibutoxybenzimidazole have been synthesized and structurally and spectroscopically characterized.The complexes show much greater solubility compared to the parent complex derived from benzimidazole, and in...
