Deprotonation of 1,3-diorganyl imidazolinium salts, 1, with N,C-type palladacyclic acetate dimer 2 afforded novel NHC coordinated complexes 3 along with ring opening hydrolysis products 4, which may coordinate to palladium center via NH group to give 5a. The hydrolysis necessitates the study of NHC complex formation in anhydrous media. The new compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods and three of them (3c, 4c, 5a) by X-ray single-crystal diffraction studies. (C) 2009 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
