trans Influence of Telluro- and Thio-ether Donor Sites: First Palladium(II) Complex, [PdCl2{4-MeOC6H4TeCH2CH2SEt}], showing their Relative Magnitude in the Same Molecule
Abstract
The synthesis of a (Te,S) ligand 4-MeOC6H4TeCH2CH2SEt (L) and its complex [PdCl2L] is followed by single crystal structure determination of the complex, which indicates that the Pd–Cl bond length trans to the ArTe group [2.344(3) Å] is longer than that trans to SEt [2.316(4) Å], suggesting a stronger trans influence for the former.
