Synthesis and Characterization of Palladium(II) CNC Pincer Complexes with Novel Bis(1,2,3-triazolylidene)amine Ligands

A novel CNC pincer ligand with secondary amine moiety flanked by 1,2,3-triazolylidene was reported. Metalation of the ligand precursors with silver oxide afforded the bimetallic silver complexes, which were subsequently transmetalated with palladium to afford palladium(II) CNC Pincer complexes. The structure of these metal complexes was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analyses.
