Optical resolution (using enantiopure amino acids) was used as a mean to resolve a racemic six-membered bidentate pyridine-N-heterocyclic based palladacycle. Two different solvent systems were found to be able to crystallize out one of the diastereomer, (SC,SC)-5 successfully, leaving the mother liq...
