The sterically bulky pyridinyl phosphine (P~N) ligands have been prepared from the phosphinylation of 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-methylpyridine. Due to the steric hindrance, substitution reaction of these P~N ligands with (COD)PdMeCl yields the chloro-bridged dipalladium species [(P~N) 2Pd2Me2Cl2], in which the P~N ligand acts as a monodentate. Treatment of these dimeric palladium compounds with AgBF4 in the presence of acetonitrile gives the corresponding C-H activation metal complex [(P~N~C)Pd(CH3CN)]BF4. Both spectral and X-ray single-crystal characterization of these palladium complexes are presented.
