Synthesis and X-ray structure of a unique multinuclear complex constructed by a nucleobase-amino acid DL-willardiine
Abstract
The X-ray crystal structure of a unique multinuclear complex, [Na2Cu2Pd(wil)4(H2O)4], prepared from Na2PdCl4, Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O and DL-willardiine (wil) is determined, which reveals that the palladium atom is coordinated by the imide nitrogens of four wil ligands; two sodium ions are retained in the cavities fromed by the coordinated wil molecules.
