Palladium N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes: Synthesis from Benzimidazolium Salts and Catalytic Activity in Carbon-carbon Bond-forming Reactions

3,3-Dimethyl-1,1-(propane-1,3-di-yl)diimidazol-1-ium tetra-bromido-cadmate(II)
Abstract:
The title compound, (C(11)H(18)N(4))[CdBr(4)], was prepared by an anion exchange. The dihedral angle between the two planar imidazolium rings in the cation is 74.4 (4)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds between the cation and the tetrahedral anion, building up a three-dimensionnal network.
