Synthesis And Characterisation Of A Novel Phosphonate Ligand And Its Palladium(Ii) Coordination Compound

The novel N-(methylene-2-pyridine)-N,N-bis(diethoxyphosphorylmethyl)amine ligand (L) was obtained through a double Kabachnik-Fields reaction, starting from 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine (2-picolylamine). Based on the L ligand, a new palladium(II) coordination compound [Pd(L)(2)CL2] has been synthesized and comprehensively characterized by spectroscopic methods CH NMR, UV-Vis), ESI mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography.
