The reaction of [Pd(dtbpf)Cl2] (dtbpf = 1,1′-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ferrocene) with sodium bromide yields [Pd(dtbpf)Br][Br], which displays an interaction between the iron and palladium atoms. The structure of this compound has been obtained and is compared to those of the previously reported [Pd(dtbpf)X]+ (X = Cl, I) analogues. Similar to [Pd(dtbpf)Cl]+, [Pd(dtbpf)Br]+ appears to undergo a solid-state isomerization at low temperature to a species in which the Fe-Pd interaction is disrupted. In addition to 1H and 31P{1H} NMR and visible spectroscopy, the [Pd(dtbpf)X]+ (X = Cl, Br) compounds were also characterized by zero-field 57Fe M?ssbauer spectroscopy. DFT calculations on [Pd(dtbpf)X]+ (X = Cl, Br, I) show that the Fe-Pd interaction is weak and noncovalent and that the strength of the interaction decreases as the halide becomes larger. A related trend is noted in the potential at which oxidation of the iron center occurs; the larger the halide, the less positive the potential at which oxidation occurs. Finally, the catalytic activity of [Pd(dtbpf)X]+ (X = Cl, Br, I) in the arylation of an aromatic ketone was examined and compared to the activity of [Pd(dtbpf)Cl2].
