Transition-metal complexes that show strong phosphorescence in solution at room temperature usually contain a RuII, OsII, IrIII, or PtII ion, but luminescent AuIII complexes [1] have also been studied increasingly. In contrast to the extensive literature on luminescent PtII complexes,[2] examples of luminescent PdII complexes that contain non-porphyrin ligands and show decent emission quantum yields (Fem) are sparse.[3] The crux of this long-standing situation lies in the significantly lower ligand-field splitting of the PdII ion.[4] Accordingly, the metal-centered d–d states of PdII complexes are always thermally accessible, which enables facile population of the antibonding 4dx2Ày2 orbital and hence leads to effective nonradiative decay through severe excited-state structural distortion.A strategy for suppression of the d–d deactivation is to use strong-field ligands so as to raise the d–d states to a higher energy. Although many bidentate and tridentate chelating ligands, such as C-deprotonated C^ N and C^ N^ N (HC^ N= 2-phenylpyridine; HC^ N^ N= 6-phenyl-2, 2’-bipyridine) ligands, give luminescent PtII complexes, they are not effective for the design of luminescent PdII complexes. Most of the reported luminescent PdII complexes containing non-porphyrin ligands are only weakly emissive (Fem< ca. 10À2) at low temperature (77 K)[4] and non-emissive (Fem< ca. 10À4) in solution at room temperature.[3] Notable examples of phosphorescent PdII complexes include PdII–porphyrin complexes
