Synthesis and crystal structure of trans-dichlorido- [3-methyl-1-(4-vinylbenzyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium-2- yl-kC2](4-phenylpyridine-kN)palladium(II)
The title compound, [PdCl2(C11H9N)(C13H14N2)], represents a new class of palladium-based polymerizable monomer which could give a potentially catalytically active polymer. It was synthesized via transmetallation from the corresponding silver complex. The PdII ion coordinates two Cl anions, one C atom from the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand and one N atom from the 4-phenylpyridine ligand, disp
