inge to control the conversion. At the conclusion of the reaction,
the mixture was cooled, extracted with ethylacetate–hexane
(1:5), filtered through a pad of silica gel with copious washing, con-
centrated and purified by flash chromatography on silica gel. All
reactions were monitored by GC. The purity of the compounds
was checked by NMR.

2.2. Synthesis of complexes, PdCl2[dpme] 1 and Pd(OAc)2[dpme] 2
3. Results and discussion
A solution of Pd(II) salt (0.26 mmol) dissolved in 15 ml dichloro-
methane was added in the 10 ml dichloromethane solution of
dpme ligand (0.26 mmol). The resultant reaction mixture was stir-
red for 10 min resulting a clear yellow colored solution. The result-
ing solution was kept for evaporation at room temperature leading
to the formation of yellow colored microcrystalline solid product
which on recrystallisation in dichloromethane yielded the yellow
crystals for complex 1 suitable for single crystal diffraction. No
The complexes, 1 and 2 have been synthesized by interacting
ligand, 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane with Pd(II) ions
in 1:1 M ratio (Scheme 1). Both the isolated complexes are yellow
solids, stable at room temperature, soluble in chlorinated solvent
such as CH2Cl2, CHCl3 and insoluble in polar and non-polar solvent.
Formation of isolated complexes has been confirmed on the ba-
sis of characteristic bands in IR spectra, Uv–vis, elemental analysis,
resonance signals in 1H, 13 C and 31P NMR, molecular ion peak (m/z)
in FAB-MS and single crystal X-ray crystallography.
