Stable dimeric palladium(II) complexes of general formula [Pd(2)(mu-R)(2)(eta(3)-allyl)(2)] (R=haloaryl, mesityl) have been prepared. Their X-ray crystal structures, determined for some of the complexes, show that the two coordination square planes are usually coplanar. The haloaryl complexes are fluxional in solution, showing exchange between cis and trans isomers (relative to the orientation of the two allyl groups in the dimer) through solvent-assisted associative bridge splitting. A number of other ancillary ligands (O,O, S,S, or C,N donors) failed to stabilize the bridging situation. Also, bridging phenyls were unstable. The reasons for this behavior and the formation of alternative compounds in attempts at synthesizing them are fully analyzed and explained. Stable aryl bridges seem to be favored by a combination of factors: the use of ancillary ligands of small size and lacking electron lone pairs, and the use of aryl ligands reluctant to homo and hetero C--C coupling. These seem to be more important factors in the stabilization of bridging aryl complexes than the strength of the bridges themselves.
