Abstract

Pd3(OAc)5NO2, an impurity in “Pd(OAc)2” {formally Pd3(OAc)6}, emerges as a serious issue in the synthesis of pure PdII complexes derived from Pd(OAc)2, for example in our C–H activation precatalyst, Pd(OAc)2(pip)2 (pip = piperidine). A previous proposal that nitrite anion can be formed by oxidation of CH3CN by metallic Pd and air, leading to cyclo(ortho)palladated complexes containing nitrite anion, e.g. Pd(NO2)(C^N)L (C^N = papaverine; L = CH3CN or DMSO) can be explained by Pd3(OAc)5NO2 acting as the nitrite source. Finally, photocrystallographic metastable linkage isomerisation and complete conversion to an oxygen-bound nitrito complex Pd(η1-ONO)(C^N)PPh3 has been observed.
