The synthesis and characterization of the cyclopalladated p-azoxyanisole chloro-bridged dimer 2, 1, is reported and its reactions with some salicylideneaniline derivatives (HL_1-5) are described. 1H NMR spectral observations indicate that except for the mononuclear products are ca 5:1 mixtures of N-trans and N-cis isomers.In the HL4 case (HL4 = salicylidene(2,4-dimethyl)aniline) the only product which was detected is the N-trans isomer.The crystal structure of trans- (HL1 = salicylideneaniline) (3-trans) is monoclinic.
