An octanuclear pyromellitimidato(2–) palladium complex: coordinative assembly of a molecular box
Abstract
Reaction of pyromellitimide with the binuclear palladium complex [Pd2(µ-Cl2)(1,2-C6H4NMe2)2] in the presence of base affords a box-like, pyromellitimidato(2–), octapalladium complex exhibiting helical chirality, for which 1H NMR and single crystal X-ray data are reported.
