Given this,
we were somewhat surprised to note that palladium complexes of
the type [PdCl(pyC6H4)L] containing simple pyridine-derived
ligands were relatively rare. Thus, López and co-workers have
reported the synthesis of [PdCl(pyC6H4)(py)] upon reaction of 1
with pyridine in acetone, together with various related amine
complexes [PdCl(pyC6H4)(NH3)] and [PdCl(pyC6H4)(NH2R)]
