Three 1,3-dialkylimidazolinium chloride salts and their palladium(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and IR spectroscopy. The catalytic activities of the 1,3-dialkylimidazolinium chloride salts and their complexes in the Heck and Suzuki coupling reactions were investigated.
