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

set, and the results were compared with the experimental data.

Intensity data of the compound were collected on a STOE diffractometer with an IPDS II image plate detector. The diffraction measurements were performed at room temperature using

graphite monochromated Mo Kα radiation by applying the ω-scan method. Data collection and cell refinement were carried out using X-AREA [14] while data reduction was applied using X-RED32

AC C

[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.

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)-

5

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 94.40(5)°] and trans angles [176.40(6) and 177.9(2)°] around the palladium ion deviate from the expected values (90 and 180°). 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.

The formation of the imidazolium salt was evident through their IR spectrum, which showed a peak at 1608 cm−1 for the ν(C=N) bond of 1. The FT-IR data clearly indicated the presence of ν(C─N) at 1410 cm−1 for the Pd-NHC complex, which has been calculated at 1408 cm−1. The formation of a C─N module in the imidazole ring correlated with a shift of IR (C=N) band. The C─H aromatic stretching modes were observed at 3165, 3124, 3053 cm−1 experimentally and were calculated at 3128, 3109 and 3077 cm−1. The peaks recorded at 2960 and 2926 cm-1 are the aliphatic asymmetric and symmetric stretching vibration belonging to methyl groups. These bands have been calculated at 2999 and 2913 cm−1, respectively. We assigned the absorption band at 2871 cm−1 due to methylene stretching vibration that has been computed at 2925 cm−1. The experimental band at 1573 cm−1 corresponds to C=C stretching, which has been calculated at 1571 cm−1. The stretching

of the P─C bonds was observed at 745 cm−1 while this band appeared at 671 cm−1 in the theoretical spectrum.

3.2.2. NMR spectroscopy The NMR spectra of 2 are given in Fig. 3. The expected composition of the complex was clearly verified by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies. The imidazolium salt includes an acidic NCHN

proton, which can be deprotonated easily to form an NHC, at the C2 position of the imidazolium ring. The sharp salt peak indicating the synthesis of an imidazolium salt came quite downfield at 10.14 ppm in the 1H NMR spectrum. The NCHN peak of the carbene precursor was observed at 137.2 ppm in the

The proton signals for the n-butyl bearing to the imidazole-N1 were appeared at 0.86, 1.181.31, 1.82-1.92 and 4.10-4.20 ppm. These signals were calculated at 1.13, 1.58, 2.28, and 3.51 ppm,

respectively. The proton signals for the methyl substituted benzylic group bearing to the imidazoleN3 were monitored at 2.17 and 2.23 ppm, which were assigned at 2.22 and 2.31 ppm in the theoretical spectrum, respectively. In addition, two doublets observed at 4.65 and 6.01 ppm (calculated at 5.65 ppm) is due to the diastereotopic methylene group of the benzylic substituent.

EP

The H atoms on the imidazole backbone carbon atoms were resonated at 6.13 and 6.54 ppm as a doublet, while the proton signals for the phospine ligands were detected at 7.32-7.36, 7.43-7.47 and

AC C

7.53-7.55 ppm. These signals were theoretically found at 6.57, 8.95, 6.90-7.90, 7.60-9.10 and 7.639.90 ppm, respectively.

The carbon signals for the n-butyl bearing to the imidazole-N1 were observed at 13.6, 16.7, 31.8 and 50.7 ppm that have been calculated at 17.45, 25.61, 39.17 and 59.28 ppm, respectively. The carbon signals for the methyl substituted benzylic group bearing to the imidazole-N3 were recorded at 16.8, 17.1 and 20.2 ppm, while the carbon signals for the benzylic group were monitored at 128.5-128.6 ppm. These signals were observed computationally at 21.24, 21.99, 22.48 and 132.61-142.10 ppm, respectively. The peak at 51.1 ppm was attributed to the methylene carbon of the benzylic substituent, while the shifts corresponding the carbon signals of the phosphine ligands were appeared in the region of 133.1-136.3 ppm. The imidazole backbone carbon atoms were observed at 110.0 and 126.9 ppm experimentally, and theoretically computed at 127.94 and

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 131.80. Notable, the signal of the carbene carbon atom in 2 was determined at 159.9 ppm, which is characteristic peak for palladium-carbene complex. In the 31P NMR spectrum, the phosphine donor was resonated at 21.6 ppm, which is in the common domain for palladium/phosphine containing compounds [37,38].

Further characterization of the complex was achieved by using quantum chemical methods at the B3LYP/SDD level. X-Ray study reveals that the coordination geometry around PdII is distorted square-planar geometry. For the Pd-NHC complex, the absence of any ν(C=N) vibration around 1600 cm−1 in the FT-IR spectrum, and the disappearing of the NCHN peak in the 1H NMR spectrum confirm the formation of the complex. Despite the differences commonly arising from dissimilar phases, it is found an acceptable correlation between the theoretical and experimental results.
