High pressure co-ordination chemistry of a palladium thioether complex: pressure versus electrons

David R. Allan, Alexander J. Blake, Deguang Huang, Timothy J. Prior and Martin Schröder


The mononuclear Pd(II) complex cis-[PdCl2([9]aneS3)]([9]aneS3= 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane) converts at 44 kbar pressure into an intensely coloured chain polymer, which exhibits distorted octahedral co-ordination at the metal centre and an unprecedented [1233] conformation for the thioether crown.
