Abstract
Complexes of the type [Pd(ligand)2](anion)2 were prepared with a series of bidentate di(o-methoxyphenyl)phosphine ligands with increasing steric bulk on the meta position of the phenyl groups: m-H (L1); m-MeO (L2); and m-Me (L3). The solid-state structure of [Pd(L2)2](OTs)2 revealed that the two ligands are symmetrically coordinated to Pd2+. In the
