High-nuclearity [Pd13Ni13(CO)34]4− containing a 26-atom Pd13Ni13 core with an unprecedented five-layer close-packed triangular stacking geometry: possible substitutional Pd/Ni crystal disorder at specific intralayer nickel sites†
Abstract
[Pd13Ni10(Ni3 − xPdx)(CO)34]4−1 has been prepared in essentially quantitative yields (>90%) from room-temperature reactions of [Ni6(CO)12]2− with either Pd(OAc)2 in DMF or Pd(MeCN)4(BF4)2 in
