Abstract

Well-defined dimeric or polymeric Pd(0) complexes [Pd(μ-(iPr)PCHP)](n) (n = 2 or ∞) containing the bridging ligand α,α'-bis(diisopropylphosphino)-m-xylene ((iPr)PCHP) are produced under mild conditions when the cyclometallated PCP pincer complex ((iPr)PCP)Pd-OH reacts with methanol or isopropanol.
