cis-[1,3-Bis(butylsulfanyl)propane-²S,S']dichloropalladium(II): meso and rac forms in the same crystal structure

W. Chen, J.-K. Wang, X. Li and H. Li

Abstract: There are two kinds of mononuclear palladium(II) units, A (meso) and B (one enantiomer of a rac pair), in the asymmetric unit of the title complex, [PdCl₂(C₁₁H₂₄S₂)]. In units A and B, each central Pd^II ion is four-coordinated in a cis square-planar geometry and chelated by a 1,3-bis(butylsulfanyl)propane (L) molecule to form a six-membered ring. The L ligands in the two units adopt cis and trans configurations, while the S atoms show R,S and R,R (S,S) chirality, respectively.
