The present paper deals with the thermal behavior study of cyclopalladated complexes obtained from reactions of [Pd(dmba)N3]2 (1), dmba = N,N-dimethylbenzylamine, with azole-compunds, such as, the anionic ligands pyrazolate (pz), imidazolate(imz) and 3,5-dimethyl-pyrazolate (3,5-dmpz). The characterization of the binuclear complexes [Pd(dmba)(mu-pz)]2 (2), [Pd(dmba)(mu-imz)]2 (3) and [Pd(dmba)(mu-3,5-dmpz)]2 (4) was carried out by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy. Their thermal behaviour has been investigated and the final product was identified by X-ray powder diffractometry which showed the formation of Pd(0) as final decomposition product.
