We have prepared cationic palladium complexes possessing a new zwitterionic ligand bis-N,N’–1-(2,4,6-triphenylpyridyl) oxalamide [(N^N)Pd(Me)(L)]+[BArF]-, (BArF=3,5-(CF3)2C6H3, L=NCMe, CO). The structure of [(N^N)Pd(Me)(CO)]+[BArF]- was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Energy Decomposition Analysis (EDA) indi-cates this N^N zwitterionic ligand is more electron-donating relative to bidentate diimine ligands. Low temperature NMR analysis shows the existence of linkage isomers with the N^N isomer the most stable. Structures were assigned using NMR and DFT analysis. Barriers to interconversion of isomers are ΔG‡ = 10-12 kcal/mol. Kinetics of acetoni-trile displacement from [(N^N)Pd(Me)(NCCH3)]+[BArF]- by CD3CN, ethylene and tBu3P were measured and mechanisms of exchange determined. The ethylene complex, [(N^N)Pd(Me)(C2H4)]+ was generated at -45 °C, and the barrier of migrato-ry insertion determined at 0 °C (ΔG‡ = 23.4 kcal/mol) and compared to related diimine complexes. The methyl carbonyl complex undergoes migratory insertion in the presence of CO at -70 to -55 °C (ΔG‡ = ca. 15.7 kcal/mol) to yield the acyl carbonyl complex. Furthermore, the neutral bis-trimethylsilylmethyl complex [(N^N)Pd(CH2SiMe3)2 was prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. It displays dynamic behavior at very low temperatures in the NMR spectrum (-90 °C, ΔG‡ =7.9 kcal/mol) which, supported by DFT analysis, is ascribed to rotation of the bulky -CH2SiMe3 groups.
