Abstract
The nuclearity and structures of the palladium complex [(SPhos)Pd(Ph)Cl]2 in the solid and solution states are revisited using a combination of Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, DFT calculations and trapping experiments. The complex was tested for its catalytic activity in the coupling reaction between chlorobenzene and n-hexylamine, where different deactivation behaviours were observed in toluene, 1,4-dioxane and DMF.
