Аннотация:A one-step reaction was discovered giving the h3-allylcomplex [Pd(h3-C6H9O)(μ-Cl)]2. The formation of thesubstituted h3-allyl ligand in the complex occurs as a resultof the condensation of acetone at room temperature in asolution containing [Pd(PhCN)2Cl2] and organic acids. Thestructure of the resulting Pdii complex was determined bysingle crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
