Treatment of [Pd(pyC6H4)(l-Cl)]2 (1) with two equivalents of
2-aminopyridine in ethanol afforded after work-up the yellow
mononuclear complex [PdCl(pyC6H4)(2-apy)] (2) in 78% yield.
Similar reactions with 2-amino-3-methylpyridine (2-ampy), 2-
aminopyrimidine (2-apym) and 2-ethylpyridine (2-etpy) also
afforded related complexes
