    Synthesis and Reactivity of Methylpalladium Complexes Bearing a Partially Saturated IzQO Ligand

    A saturated N-heterocyclic carbene–phenolate bidentate ligand, 3,3a,4,5-tetrahydroimidazo­[1,5-<i>a</i>]­quinolin-9-olate-1-ylidene (SIzQO), was synthesized and characterized. The SIzQO ligand was then treated with PdClMe­(pyridine)<sub>2</sub> and [Pd­(μ-Cl)­Me­(2,6-lutidine)]<sub>2</sub>, which afforded <i>C</i>,<i>C</i>-<i>cis</i>-(SIzQO)­PdMe­(pyridine) and the thermodynamically unstable <i>trans</i> isomer <i>C</i>,<i>C</i>-<i>trans</i>-(SIzQO)­PdMe­(2,6-lutidine), respectively. The latter isomerizes at 40 °C into the corresponding <i>cis</i> isomer via a dissociative mechanism. These palladium/SIzQO complexes catalyze the polymerization of ethylene at 100–120 °C, although the catalytic activity is lower than that of a previously reported palladium/imidazo­[1,5-<i>a</i>]­quinolin-9-olate-1-ylidene (IzQO) system
