Structures of a novel trinuclear palladium(II) dithiocarbamate complex and of bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)dibromopalladium(IV)

Determination of the crystal structure of bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)dibromopalladium(IV) (I), shows it to have a distorted octahedral geometry, with the bromide ligands mutually cis. We also report the structure of a new palladium(II) complex, obtained as a decomposition product in the crystallisation of I, which has three palladium centres coordinated by bridging and terminal dithiocarbamates.
