Tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)- -triazine 5
( ). In a three-necked round bottomed flask provided with a
reflux condenser, argon atmosphere, and magnetic stirring, NaH (2.0 g, 60%, 50 mmol) washed with anhydrous
pentane to remove the mineral oil in anhydrous THF (150 ml) was placed. 3,5-Dimethylpyrazole (4.33 g,
45 mmol) was added to this mixture in small portions and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for
2 h. Then 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (2.65 g, 14.5 mmol) in dry THF (50 ml) was added dropwise, and the
orange-reddish reaction mixture stirred overnight. After evaporation of the solvent, the crude residue was
washed with water and the insoluble orange solid obtained by filtration dried. Column chromatography over
Merck silica gel 60 afforded pure compound 5, mp 241-244°C (although this compound 5 has been described
three times [15-17] no melting point was reported). Rf 0.71 (chloroform–methanol, 10:1) on TLC aluminium
sheets of silica gel Merck 60 F254 (layer thickness 0.2 mm). Yield 30%. Mass spectra (m/e, relative intensity

triazine ring); -166.5 (N(1), pyrazole); -81.6 (N(2'), pyrazole (inverse gate)); 15N NMR spectrum (DMSO-d6):
N-triazine, not observed, pyrazole: 165.4 (N(1'), 77.5 (N(2'), (gs-HMBC). Assignments made on the basis of
gs-HMQC (1J) and gs-HMBC (nJ) correlations and analogy with other reported pyrazole and triazine derivatives

Tris(ethylenediaminepalladium)tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)- -triazine Hexafluorophosphate
[{Pd(en)}3(Me2-TPzT)](PF6)6 (6). The compound was prepared in two steps. First, to a solution of PdCl2(en)
(75 mg, 0.32 mmol) in THF (20 ml) was added AgPF6 (199 mg, 0.79 mmol). The mixture was stirred 12 h at
room temperature protected from light. Then, the white precipitate of AgCl was filtered off over cellite and
washed with THF till the solution remained perfectly transparent. The solution was evaporated under vacuum to
isolate the [Pd(en)(THF)2](PF6)2 adduct in the form of a beige solid that was washed with diethyl ether,
yield 97%. In the second step, to a solution of the adduct (180 mg, 0.30 mmol) in THF (20 ml) was added
Me2-TPzT 5 ligand (36.3 mg, 0.10 mmol) and immediately a white precipitate appeared, which was filtered off,
washed with diethyl ether, and dried. Beige solid, yield 82% (143 mg). Found, %: C 17.09; H 3.15; N 12.67.
C24H45F36N15P6Pd3. Calculated, %: C 16.64; H 2.62; N 12.13. Maybe the compound contains some ethylene-
diamine of crystallization.

Tris(triphenylphosphinesilver)tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)- -triazine Perchlorate [{Ag(PPh3)}3(Me2-
TPzT)](ClO4)3 (7). To a solution of Me2-TPzT 5 (49 mg, 0.13 mmol) in freshly distilled acetone (20 ml) was
added AgClO4(PPh3) (194 mg, 0.41 mmol), taking care to protect the reaction from light. After 2 h under
stirring, a beige precipitate appeared, the stirring was continued for 3 h, then the solution was filtered and the
solid washed with diethyl ether and dried. Yield 90% (207 mg). FAB+/MS (m/e, relative intensity): 1772 (M+,

X-Ray Analysis
Data collection was carried out at room temperature on a four-circle diffractometer (Seifert
XRD3000-S), using graphite monochromated CuKα radiation. A summary of data collection and refinement
details is given in Table 3. The structure was solved by direct methods, SIR92 [28], and refined with full matrix
least squares procedures on Fobs. Owing to the low value of the ratio of freedom (3.6), we refined alternatively
non-hydrogen and hydrogen atoms so as to use ratios of freedom of above 4.8. The atomic scattering factors
were taken from the International Tables for X-Ray Crystallography [29] and most of the calculations were
carried out with the XTAL [30], PESOS [31], and PARST [32] programs running on an AXP 600 computer.
