Abstract
A transmetallation route, using silver(I) precursors, to several zero- and di-valent palladium complexes with chelating bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) ligands bearing various N-substituents has been established. The resulting complexes have been characterized by NMR and mass spectroscopy. In addition, the structure of a representative compound, [Pd0(bis-(Mes)NHC)(η2-ma)] (3a), was confirmed by X-ray crystal
