Synthesis and characterisation of macrocyclic palladium(II)–sodium(I) complexes: generation of an unusual metal-mediated electron delocalisation

Il Yoon, Midori Goto, Toshimi Shimizu, Shim Sung Lee and Masumi Asakawa

Reaction of sodium perchlorate–crown ether derivative (LH2) complex [Na2LH2](ClO4)2(1) with palladium acetate afforded two related compounds of macrocyclic palladium(II)–sodium(I) dimeric tetranuclear complexes, [Pd2Na2L2(µ-OH2)2](ClO4)2(CH2Cl2)3(2) and [Pd2Na2(L–)2](CH3CN)2(C3H6O)2(3) and their structures were characterised by IR, NMR, mass and X-ray analysis; the latter was revealed as an unusual metal-mediated electron delocalised complex.
