Synthesis and Characterization of a Pd(II)-Complex Bearing a Naphthalene-Based Macrocyclic Tetra <i>N</i> -Heterocyclic Ligand
We report the synthesis of a novel macrocyclic salt containing four imidazolium units tethered by alternating ethylene and naphthalene units. The salt metalates Pd-(II), resulting in a macrocyclic tetra <i>N</i>-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand. To investigate the fluxionality of this complex as a result of its macrocyclic nature, we synthesized a related Pd-(II) complex with two chelating NHCs for comparative analysis by <sup>1</sup>H NMR spectroscopy.
