Graphical Abstract: The novel N-(methylene-2-pyridine)-N,N-bis(diethoxyphosphorylmethyl)amine ligand (L) was obtained through a double Kabachnik-Fields reaction, starting from 2-aminomethyl pyridine (2-picolylamine). Based on the L ligand, a new palladium(II) coordination compound [Pd(L)2Cl2] has been synthetized and comprehensively characterized by spectroscopic methods (1H NMR, UV-Vis), ESI mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography.
