Starting from the reaction of carbocyclic carbene ligands towards N-nucleophiles, the class of imidazolium- and pyridinium-substituted [eta]3-cycloheptatrienide-Pd complexes was established. On this basis both a universal route to funtionalised trinuclear Pd sandwich cluster complexes was developed and the first complex bearing a mixed carbocyclic/N-heterocyclic carbene system was synthesised. Furthermore, the structure of the ligand precursors for cycloheptatrienylidene-Pd complexes was fully described for the first time and the structure of the first organometallic Pd cluster from 1964 was elucidated.
