Palladium(II) thiosemicarbazone-catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides

A new air- and moisture-stable palladium(II) complex bearing pyridoxal thiosemicarbazone ligand has been synthesized. The synthesized complex was characterized by analytical and spectral methods. The molecular structure of the complex was confirmed by X-ray diffraction method. The palladium(II) complex was used as potential catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction of several aryl halides under optimized conditions.
