Tetrakis(dimethyl sulfide)palladium(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate) and tetrakis(1,4-oxathiane-S)palladium(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate)

M. H. Johansson and Å. Oskarsson

Abstract: Tetrakis(dimethyl sulfide)palladium(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate), [Pd(C₂H₆S)₄](BF₄)₂, (I), and tetrakis(1,4-oxathiane- [bold kappa] S)palladium(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate), [Pd(C₄H₈OS)₄](BF₄)₂, (II), both crystallize as mononuclear square-planar complexes with tetrafluoroborate as the counter-ions. The Pd atom accepts four S-donor atoms and is positioned at an inversion centre in both compounds. The two unique S atoms in the dimethyl sulfide complex, (I), are disordered. The Pd-S distances are in the range 2.3338 (12)-2.3375 (12) Å in (I), and the corresponding distances in the thioxane complex, (II), are 2.3293 (17) and 2.3406 (17) Å. The anions in both compounds interact weakly with the Pd atom.
