Sažetak
Three new Pd(II) complexes, i.e. [PdCl_2L]_2 (A), PdCl_2L_2 (B) and [Pd(mu?Cl)(L?H)]_2 (C), each with two diethyl [alpha?(4?benzenazoanilino)?2?hydroxybenzyl]phosphonates (L) bound to either one or two palladium atoms, are synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, by IR, UV/Vis and solid?state 13C NMR spectra. B and C are additionally characterized by 1H, 13C and 31P NMR and ES?MS studies using DMF as a solvent. In DMF solution adducts A and B undergo spontaneous rearrangement into the cyclopalladated complex C. Dynamic 1H NMR study of this rearrangement as well as of the reactions of L with PdCl_2 and Na_2PdCl_4 revealed a complex equilibrium in DMF solutions and enabled the formation mechanism of all involved species to be resolved. The complex A is immediately solvolyzed producing two molecules of intermediate M [PdCl_2(L)(DMF)]. M was also the first intermediate in the reaction of L with PdCl_2. Once present in concentration above 103^-5 mol dm^-3 M dimerizes very fast into chloro?bridged dimer [PdCl(mu?Cl)(L)]_2 (D) which undergoes cyclopalladation and converts into the complex C. The formation of C from the intermediate D is clearly demonstrated by the concentration dependence of the cyclopalladation reaction which has order greater than one. Chloride ions, released by cyclopalladation, react with D by splitting chloro?bridge and binding to metal atoms to produce byproduct [PdCl_3(L)]- (T). The same species (T) are formed in the reaction of L with Na_2PdCl_4 whereby a chloride ion is replaced by the ligand L. The complex B undergoes similar, but slower, solvolytic reaction producing M and L while further reaction steps are identical as in the solvolysis of A.
