Abstract

3,3'-(p-phenylenedimethylene)bis{1-(2-methylallyl)}imidazolium bromide 1 and its Palladium(II) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex 3 have been synthesized and characterized by several spectroscopic techniques and finally the solid state structure of 3 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The Pd(II) complex possesses ring head to tail Π–Π stacking interactions (3.767 A˚) through imidazole rings. Complex 3 catalyzes Suzuki-Miyaura ‘C-C’ coupling reaction. DFT calculations have been performed to know HOMO/LUMO orbitals energy and hence the stability and reactivity of Pd(II) complex (3) in syn and anti-configuration.
