The multitopic pyrazine functionalized pro-ligand 2,6-bis(N-methylimidazolium)pyrazinedichloride, L-1; 2,6-bis(N-methylbenzimidazolium)pyrazinedichloride, L-2 and their respective Pd(II)–NHC complexes 1 and 2 have been synthesised and characterized by different spectroscopic methods and have been analyzed within a conceptual DFT framework. Single crystal X-ray structures of (L-1)PF6 and complex 1 have been determined. X-ray structure revels that 1 form a 12 member palladacycle. Both complex 1 and 2, catalyse the Suzuki coupling reaction very well and from experimental and theoretical findings it is concluded that complex 1 is slightly catalytically more active than 2.

Abstract
The multitopic pyrazine functionalized pro-ligand 2,6-bis(N-methylimidazolium)pyrazinedichloride, L-1; 2,6-bis(N-methylbenzimidazolium)pyrazinedichloride, L-2 and their respective Pd(II)–NHC complexes 1 and 2 have been synthesised and characterized by different spectroscopic methods and have been analyzed within a conceptual DFT framework. Single crystal X-ray structures of (L-1)PF6 and complex 1 have been determined. X-ray structure revels that 1 form a 12 member palladacycle. Both complex 1 and 2, catalyse the Suzuki coupling reaction very well and from experimental and theoretical findings it is concluded that complex 1 is slightly catalytically more active than 2.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
