Abstract:
Two novel NCN-pincer complex precursors bearing frameworks of 2,6-bis(oxazol-4-yl)benzene (A) and 2-(thiazol-4-yl)-6-(oxazol-4-yl)benzene (B) were synthesized. Palladations of A and B afforded two new bis(azole) pincer complexes, [(A-κ(3)NCN)PdBr] (1) and [(B-κ(3)NCN)PdBr] (2). Both complexes were fully characterized by NMR, MS, DSC-TGA and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Complex 1 crystallizes in a noncentrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Cmc2(1) (No. 36, Z=4). Complex 2 crystallizes in a centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P2(1)/n (No. 14, Z=4). Despite the similarity in their chemical formulas, the structures of the two complexes are subtly different: they are built up of two-dimensional supramolecular layers with identical topology, but stacked in different sequences, i.e., the layers in complex 1 are stacked in an AAAA-type fashion, while those in complex 2 are stacked in an alternating AA(-1)AA(-1) sequence (A denotes a layer; A(-1) stands for A's inversion symmetry equivalent). In addition, the complexes showed good catalytic activity toward Mizoroki-Heck reactions.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
