Abstract
Reaction of commercially available Ph2PCH2CH2NH2 with {PdCl(C9H12N)}2 (2:1) in CH2Cl2 afforded, instead of Pd(Cl)(P-Ph2PCH2CH2NH2)(C9H12N) 1, the cationic complex [Pd(P,N-Ph2PCH2CH2NH2)(C9H12N)]Cl 2 which was characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The lack of reactivity of 2 towards Rhodamine 6G can therefore be rationalized.
