Pairwise
Assembly of Organopalladium(II) Units with
Cyanurato(3−) and Trithiocyanurato(3−) Ligands: Formation
of Chiral Pd12, Pd10, and Pd9 Cage-Molecules
The o-palladated, chloro-bridged dimers [Pd{2-phenylpyridine(-H)}-μ-Cl]2 and [Pd{N,N-dimethylbenzylamine(-H)}-μ-Cl]2 react with cyanuric acid in the presence of base to afford closed, chiral cage-molecules in which 12 organo-Pd(II) centers, located in pairs at the vertices of an octahedron, are linked by four tetrahedrally arranged cyanurato(3-) ligands… (More)
