Reaction of A with Ag2O, on the other hand, cleanly gave the Ag(I) carbene complex [AgBr(Bh2-bimy)] (2), which has been used as a carbene-transfer agent to prepare the acetonitrile complex trans-[PdBr2(CH3CN)(Bh2-bimy)] (3). Dissociation of acetonitrile from complex 3 and subsequent dimerization afforded the dinuclear Pd(II) complex [PdBr2(Bh2-bimy)]2 (4) in quantitative yield. All complexes were fully characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopies, ESI mass spectrometry and X-ray diffraction analysis. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of complex 4 in aqueous Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions was studied and compared with that of its previously reported less bulky analogue [PdBr2(iPr2-bimy)]2. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.
