metal-organic compounds
The title compound, [NH2(CH3)2][PdCl3], was produced as a minor product of the reaction involving 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione and K2PdCl4 in aqueous HCl. The structure contains [NH2(CH3)2]+ cations and [PdCl3]− anions. The anion consists of PdII atoms bonded to a combination of bridging and terminal Cl− ions in the form of an infinite chain of general formula [Pd(μ-Cl)(Cl)2]2. Each PdII atom is bonded in a four-coordinate square-planar configuration. The cations are hydrogen bonded to the [PdCl3]− chain.
