This molecule reacts with different organic electrophiles to afford related compounds Ph<sub>2</sub>PCH<sub>2</sub>CH(Ph)NPhX (X = SiMe<sub>3</sub>, <b>L</b><b><sup>2</sup></b><sup></sup>; COPh, <b>L</b><b><sup>4</sup></b><sup></sup>), [Ph<sub>2</sub>MePCH<sub>2</sub>CH(Ph)NHPh]<sup>+</sup>(I<sup>-</sup>), <b>L</b><b><sup>3</sup></b><sup></sup>, and [Ph<sub>2</sub>PCH<sub>2</sub>CH(Ph)N(Ph)CO]<sub>2</sub>, <b>L</b><b><sup>5</sup></b><sup></sup>, containing two amido and two phosphino functions. The coordination properties of <b>L</b><b><sup>1</sup></b><sup></sup>, <b>L</b><b><sup>2</sup></b><sup></sup>, and <b>L</b><b><sup>4</sup></b><sup></sup> have been studied in palladium chemistry. The X-ray structure of [PdCl<sub>2</sub>(Ph<sub>2</sub>PCH<sub>2</sub>CH(Ph)NHPh-κ<i>P</i>,κ<i>N</i>)] shows the bidentate coordination mode for the <b>L</b><b><sup>1</sup></b><sup></sup> ligand with equatorial C<sub>Ph</sub>−N<sub>Ph</sub> phenyl groups. [PdCl<sub>2</sub>(Ph<sub>2</sub>PCH<sub>2</sub>CH(Ph)NHPh-κ<i>P</i>,κ<i>N</i>)] crystallizes at 298 K in the space group <i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub>/<i>n</i> with cell parameters <i>a</i> = 10.689(2) Å, <i>b</i> = 21.345(3) Å, <i>c</i> = 12.282(2) Å, β = 90.294(12)°, <i>Z</i> = 4, <i>D</i><sub>calcd</sub> = 1.526. The reaction between 2 equiv of <b>L</b><b><sup>1</sup></b><sup></sup> and [PdCl(η<sup>3</sup>-C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)]<sub>2</sub> affords the [PdCl(η<sup>3</sup>-C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)(Ph<sub>2</sub>PCH<sub>2</sub>CH(Ph)NHPh-κ<i>P</i>)] complex in which an unexpected N−H···Cl intramolecular interaction has been observed by an X-ray diffraction analysis. [PdCl(η<sup>3</sup>-C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)(Ph<sub>2</sub>PCH<sub>2</sub>CH(Ph)NHPh-κ<i>P</i>)] crystallizes at 298 K in the monoclinic space group <i>Cc</i> with cell parameters <i>a</i> = 10.912(1) Å, <i>b</i> = 17.194(2) Å, <i>c</i> = 14.169(2) Å, β = 100.651(9)°, <i>Z</i> = 4, <i>D</i><sub>calcd</sub> = 1.435. Neutral and cationic alkyl or allyl palladium chloride complexes containing <b>L</b><b><sup>1</sup></b><sup></sup> are also reported as well as a neutral allyl palladium chloride complex containing <b>L</b><b><sup>4</sup></b><sup></sup>. Variable-temperature <sup>31</sup>P{<sup>1</sup>H} NMR studies on the allyl complexes show that the η<sup>3</sup>/η<sup>1</sup> allyl interconversion is enhanced by a positive charge and also by a N−H···Cl intramolecular interaction. 2001-03-01 00:00:00 cell parameters allyl palladium chloride complexes allyl palladium chloride carbanionic species Ph 2 PCH 2 L 4 L 2 L 1 L 1 ligand bidentate coordination mode allyl complexes show space group Cc 298 K PdCl 2 II NMR
