Abstract Chiral α,α′-diamino-meta-xylene dioximes H2L1, H2L2, and H2L3 were obtained from the naturally occurring terpenoids (+)-3-carene, (R)-(+)-limonene, and (S)-(−)-α-pinene, respectively. Reactions of these ligands with PdCl2 gave the diamagnetic complexes Pd2(H2L1)Cl4 (I), Pd2(H2L2)Cl4 (II), and Pd2(H2L3)Cl4 (III). According to X-ray diffraction data, the crystal structure of complex I consists of acentric binuclear molecules [Pd2(H2L1)Cl4]. The coordination polyhedron PdN2Cl2 is a square distorted in a tetrahedral manner (trapezium) made up of two N atoms of the tetradentate bridging cyclic ligand H2L1 and two Cl atoms. The fragments PdCl2 in the complex are cis to each other. According to the 1H NMR spectra of complexes I–III in CDCl3, the organic ligands are coordinated through the N atoms; in solution, the complexes exist in several forms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
