Reaction of 2-(phenylazo)aniline with Na2PdCl4: formation of a 2-(phenylazo)imino complex of bivalent palladium.

2-(Phenylazo)aniline, H2L (H stands for amino protons), binds to bivalent palladium in a bidentate fashion (N,N) as HL-. Structural studies show distortion in the phenyl ring adjacent to the chelat...
