Abstract
The disilylated compound 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrakis((dimethylamino)methyl)benzene, (Me3Si)2C2N4, 4, can be electrophilically palladated selectively at the C-Si bonds to afford the neutral 1,4-bis(palladium) complex [(AcOPd)2(C2N4)], from which the dicationic [(LPd)2(C2N4)]2+ (L = MeCN) organometallic species are accessible. The monosilylated species (Me3Si)(H)C2N4, 5, can be used for the preparation of the dicationic heterodinuclear platinum(II)-palladium(II)
