Abstract
![]()
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. Incomplete (Pd10) cages, having structures derived from the corresponding Pd12 cages by replacing one pair of organopalladium centers with
two protons, have also been isolated. Reaction of [Pd{2-phenylpyridine(-H)}-μ-Cl]2 with trithiocyanuric acid gives an entirely different and
more open type of cage-complex, comprising only nine organopalladium
centers and three thiocyanurato(3−) ligands: cage-closure in
this latter system appears to be inhibited by steric crowding of the
thiocarbonyl groups.

which 12 organo-Pd(II) centers located about the vertices of an octahedron
are linked by four tetrahedrally arranged cyanurato(3−) ligands.
