The reactions of an S-bridged trinuclear palladium(II) complex, [Pd3(D-pen-N,O,S)3] (D-H2pen = D-penicillamine), with ethylenediamine (en) and racemic (R,R/S,S) 1,2-cyclohexanediamine (chxn) in water gave mononuclear palladium(II) complexes, [Pd(D-pen-N,S)(en)] (1) and [Pd(D-pen-N,S)(chxn)] (2), respectively. Of two diastereomers, [Pd(D-pen-N,S)(R,R-chxn)] (2R) and [Pd(D-pen-N,S)(S,S-chxn)] (2S), possible for 2, 2S was exclusively isolated in a high yield.
