curred immediately. The mixture was stirred overnight. The
NaCl was filtered off and solid PdCl2(cod) (0.5 equiv) was
added to the filtrate. The mixture was stirred 30 min and the
yellow product was filtrated off and dried. 1H NMR (CDCl3)

Preparation of (3,5-difluorophenyl) diphenylphosphinite and
PdCl2[PPh2(O-3,5-F2C6H3)]2 (6): Dry sodium 3,5-difluoro-
phenolate (0.746 g, 5.2 mM) was allowed to react at 0°C
with chlorodiphenyl phosphine (0.66 mL, 0.86 g, 3.9 mM)
for 2 days. The insoluble salts were filtered off and the solu-
tion was used immediately to prepare the palladium complex
(6) by the method given for (5). Yield: 78%. 1H NMR

Reactions of PdCl2L2 complexes with CO and NEt3
In the typical experiment, MeOH (1 mL) and NEt3 (ca.
0.01 mL) were added consecutively under dinitrogen to the
palladium complex (0.05 g). The Schlenk tube was filled
twice with CO and the solution was stirred under CO atmo-
sphere for 30 min. The resulting precipitate of palladium
carbonyl complex was filtrated off, dried, and analyzed by
IR. The products decompose in the presence of air in ca.
30 min.
Preparation of tert-butyl diphenylphosphinite and
PdCl2[PPh2(O-t-Bu)]2 (1): PPh2(O-t-Bu) was prepared by
reacting potassium tert-butanolate (0.634 g, 5.2 mM) with
chlorodiphenyl phosphine (0.70 mL, 0.86 g, 3.9 mM) for 2
days. To the filtrated ether solution was added PdCl2(cod)
(0.5 equiv), and the complex (1) was isolated after 10 h of
stirring of the mixture as a dark yellow powder (yield 85%).
1H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 0.2 (CH3), 7.22 (t), 7.34 (d), 7.54 (q,
Ph). Anal. calcd. for C32H48Cl2O2P2Pd: C 54.6, H 6.9;
found: C 54.7, H 6.3.
Carbonylation reaction of benzyl bromide
To the thermostated glass reactor (40°C), was added under
a N2 atmosphere MeOH (1.5 mL), NEt3 (1.5 mL), and
benzyl bromide (0.5 mL), the mixture was stirred for 1 min
and then the catalyst (2.45 × 10–5 mol) in small teflon vessel
was added. The reactor was connected with the CO-
container (1 atm), flushed twice with CO, and left for 2 h
with magnetic stirring. After that time, the reaction mixture
was treated with HCl up to pH ca. 7. The reaction products
were extracted with ethyl ether (1 mL) and analyzed by GC–
MS.
Preparation of ethyl diphenylphosphinite and PdCl2[PPh2(OEt)]2
(9): PPh2(OEt) was synthesized analogously to the butyl an-
alog using sodium ethanolate (0.316 g, 4.6 mM) and
chlorodiphenyl phosphine (0.83 mL, 1.03 g) in ether
(30 mL) for 3 days. The addition of PdCl2(cod) (0.5 equiv)
and stirring of the mixture for 30 min allowed the formation
of complex (9) with 90% yield. The crystals for X-ray stud-
X-ray crystallography
X-ray crystal data, together with refinement details, are
given in Table 4. All measurements of crystal were per-
formed on a Kuma KM4CCD κ-axis diffractometer with
graphite-monochromated Mo Kα radiation. The crystal was
positioned at 65 mm from the KM4CCD camera, and 612
frames were measured at 0.75° intervals with a counting
time of 20 s. The data were corrected for Lorentz and polar-
ization effects. No absorption correction was applied. Data
reduction and analysis were carried out with the Kuma Dif-
fraction (Wroclaw) programs. The structure was solved by
direct methods (program SHELXS 97 (24)) and refined by
the full-matrix least-squares method on all F2 data using the
SHELXL 97 (25) programs. Nonhydrogen atoms were re-
fined with anisotropic thermal parameters; hydrogen atoms
were included from geometry of molecules and ∆ρ maps but
were not refined.
ies were obtained by recrystallization of the yellow powder

from CH2Cl2–EtOH. H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 0.96 (t, JH,H
=
7 Hz, CH3), 3.67 (q, CH2), 7.38 (m), 7.48 (m), 7.76 (m, Ph).
Anal. calcd. for C28H30Cl2O2P2Pd: C 52.7, H 4.7; found: C
52.1, H 4.4.
Other syntheses
The other PdCl2L2 complexes have been obtained in reac-
tion of PdCl2(cod) with 2 mol equiv of phosphorus ligands
in C6H6, CH2Cl2, or (C2H5)2O. Depending on the solubility
they have been isolated as precipitates or after solvent evap-
oration. In all cases the products have been washed by ethyl
ether and dried in vacuo. The preparation and spectroscopic
data of PdCl2[PPh2(O-n-Bu)]2 (10) and PdCl2[P(OPh)3]2
(11) are reported in ref. 11.

NMR) data of PdCl2L2 complexes with the steric and elec
tronic parameters of phosphorus ligands (L) show a domi

nating influence of the steric over the electronic effect.
Correlations between 31P NMR coordination chemical shifts
(∆) and the cone angles (Θ) of L on the other are not per-
fect, but strong enough to show the tendency and directions
