The solid-state structure of the complex shows that the metal center was surrounded by an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, a phosphorus atom and two bromide ions in a cis-arrangement. Density-functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/SDD level were also executed for the further explorations of the spectroscopic and structural properties. The obtained theoretical parameters adequately support the experimental findings in general.

1. Introduction Over the last two decades, the popularity of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (NHC) has dramatically increased mainly due to their use in the development of very active and versatile catalysts. Complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands are extremely versatile ligands in homogeneous catalysis and coordination chemistry [1−4]. The steric and electronic properties of
RI PT
such ligands are easily modified through variation of the substituents at the nitrogen and carbon atoms, and they have been used as ancillary ligands for the preparation of various catalytically active complexes [5]. During the last decade, a major advance has been the development of catalysts enabling the cross-coupling reactions. A large number of complexes used in homogeneous catalysis contain phosphine or N-heterocyclic (NHC) ligands. While many complexes bearing N-
SC
heterocyclic ligands are known, but NHC ligands containing both NHC and phosphine donor groups are less common [6−9]. The use of such compounds in combination with phosphorus-based
M AN U
ligands within metal complexes has enabled the design of very active yet robust catalytic systems. In this work, a new palladium(II) complex containing imidazol-2-ylidene and phosphine ligands was obtained and characterized by IR, NMR, UV-vis spectroscopic methods and singlecrystal X-ray diffraction. Theoretical characterization of the structural and spectroscopic properties of the complex was done using the density functional theory (B3LYP) method with the SDD basis
TE D
set, and the results were compared with the experimental data.

The infrared spectra were recorded on an ATR unit in the range of 4000-450 cm−1 with a Perkin-Elmer Spectrum FTIR system. 1H, 13C and 31P NMR measurements were performed using a Varian AS 400 spectrometer operating at 400 and 100 MHz, respectively. The UV-Vis. spectra

After the mixture was refluxed for 18 h, it was cooled down to room temperature. The solvent was removed in vacuo, the remaining precipitate was then dissolved in dichloromethane and recrystallization from CH2Cl2/Et2O afforded the complex. Yield: 30% (0.200 g). m.p.: 155 oC.

[14]. The structure was solved by a dual-space algorithm using SHELXT-2014 [15] and refined with full-matrix least-squares calculations on F2 using SHELXL-2016 [16] implemented in WinGX [17] program suit. All H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated using a riding model, fixing the bond lengths at 0.93, 0.97 and 0.96 Å for CH, CH2 and CH3 atoms, respectively. The displacement parameters of the H atoms were fixed at Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq (1.5Ueq for CH3) of their parent atoms. In the complex, there is a disordered solvent water molecule with very large displacement parameters which was difficult to model. Therefore, the SQUEEZE command of PLATON [18] was used to model the electron density in the void region. There is a cavity of volume 106 Å3 per unit cell centered at (0, 0, 0.5). The cavity contains approximately 31 electrons which were assigned to two solvent water molecules. With Z = 2, each Pd complex has one solvent water equivalent. In the final refinement, these contributions were removed from the intensity data

Furthermore, the butane and pentamethylbenzyl moieties were disordered over two positions, and the refined site-occupancy factors of the disordered parts are 0.61(3)/0.39(3)% for C5-C7 and 0.558(13)/0.442(13)% for C9-C19.

NMR chemical shifts were calculated within the gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) approach [22,23] at the same level. The effect of solvent on the theoretical NMR parameters was included using the default solvation model [24]. Chloroform was used as a solvent. The electronic absorption spectra were obtained using the time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) [25−27] and dichloromethane (DCM) as solvent within the default solvation model. All the

3. Results and discussion
3.1. Experimental and theoretical structures The molecular structure of 2 is shown in Fig. 1(a), while the important bond lengths and
AC C
angles are given in Table 2.
The complex crystallized as cis configuration, in which the palladium centre is surrounded by an NHC carbon atom, a triphenylphosphine phosphorus atom and two cis bromide ions in a distorted square planar fashion. The Pd─Br bond trans to the P atom is longer than that trans to the carbene ligand by ca. 0.05 Å, although the trans influence of the NHC ligand is slightly stronger than phosphine [30]. The coordination bond distances are comparable to those found in mononuclear phosphine/N-heterocyclic carbene-palladium complexes [31−34]. The cis [83.6(2)-

The four-coordinate geometry index for the complex, τ4 [35], is 0.04 (where 0 would be perfectly square-planar, and 1 is perfectly tetrahedral). The value of τ4 shows that the coordination polyhedron of the palladium is a distorted tetrahedral. The carbene ring plane is oriented almost perpendicularly to the square-planar Pd coordination plane (PdCPBr2) with a
RI PT
dihedral angle of 88.67(3)°, which is typical for NHC complexes to relieve steric congestion [36].
The calculated structural parameters are also tabulated in Table 2. From the table, the
SC
biggest deviation in the bond lengths is 0.15 Å at Pd1─P1 and the biggest deviation in the bond angles is 3.72° at Br2─Pd1─C1. In theoretical structure, the τ4 value is 0.06, and the carbene ring
M AN U
plane makes a dihedral angle of 83.18° with coordination plane. When the x-ray and theoretical structures are superimposed by PLATON as illustrated in Fig. 1(b), the obtained root mean square (RMS) bond fit and angle fit values of 0.052 Å and 1.613° confirm an acceptable correlation between them.
