Heterodimetallic PdII-based carboxylate-bridged complexes: Synthesis and structure of single-crystalline PdII–M (M = MnII, CoII, NiII, CuII, ZnII, NdIII, EuIII, CeIV) acetates

A series of crystalline PdII-based heterodimetallic acetate-bridged complexes containing the transition (MnII, CoII, NiII, CuII), post-transition (ZnII) and rare-earth (CeIV, NdIII, EuIII) metals were synthesized starting from Pd3(OOCMe)6 and the complementary metal(II, III) acetates. The crystal and molecular structures of the binuclear PdIIMII(μ-OOCMe)4L (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Zn; L = H2O, MeCN), trinuclear Pd2IICuII(μ-OOCMe)6 and tetranuclear Pd2IIM2III(μ,η2-OOCMe)2(μ-OOCMe)8(THF)2 (M = Nd, Eu) and Pd2IICe2IV(μ,η2-OOCMe)2(η1-OOCMe)2(μ-OOCMe)8(H2O)2 complexes were established by X-ray diffraction.

Eight new PdII-based heterodimetallic complexes: binuclear PdIIMII(μ-OOCMe)4L (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Zn; L = H2O, MeCN), trinuclear Pd2IICuII(μ-OOCMe)6 and tetranuclear Pd2IIM2III(μ,η2-OOCMe)2(μ-OOCMe)8(THF)2 (M = Nd, Eu) and Pd2IICe2IV(μ,η2-OOCMe)2(η1-OOCMe)2(μ-OOCMe)8(H2O)2 have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
