Mono- and dinuclear palladium complexes containing 2-pyridylphosphine ligands, including X-ray characterization of Pd2I2(µ-PPh2py)2 and a dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate A-frame complex Pd2Cl2(µ-Ppy3)2(µ-MeO2C•C=C•CO2Me); py = 2-pyridyl

Dibromo- and diiodo[(2-pyridyl)phosphine]palladium(II) complexes are prepared by metathesis of cis-PdCl2(PPh3−npyn)2 species (n = 1–3) using the appropriate sodium halide; py = 2-pyridyl. NMR spect...
