Formation of a novel Pd4 cluster from the acetolysis of bis[(R)-N-α-methylbenzylsalicylideneaminato-N,O]palladium(II)
Abstract
The title compound 1 is transformed into tetrakis [(R)-N-α-methylbenzylsalicylideneaminato-C°,N,O]tetrapalladium(II)2 upon long term standing in acetic acid; the novel structure of 2 is established spectroscopically and by X-ray diffraction.
