COS trapping by palladium pyrazolates: addition vs. clathration
Abstract
[{Pd(dmpz)2(Hdmpz)2}2](Hdmpz = 3,5-dimethylpyrazole) reacts with COS, both in solution and in the solid state, affording [Pd{SC(O)dmpz}2] and [{Pd(dmpz)2(Hdmpz)2}2]mdot;COS, respectively; the structure of the latter is determined by ab initio methods from conventional X-ray powder diffraction data only.
