Inter- and hetero-metallic assembly of palladium sulfide aggregates: crystal and molecular structures of [InPd2Cl3(dppf)2(μ3-S)2] · 3CH2Cl2 and [Ag2Pd2(NO3)2(dppf)2(μ3-S)2] · 2CH2Cl2

Each sulfide site of Pd2(dppf)2(μ-S)2 (dppf = 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) captures an AgNO3 entity, thus resulting in a flat {Pd2S2} core functionalized by silver. Similar assemblies can be extended to the p-block systems such as In(III), resulting in an array of intermetallic structures.
