Bromide-bridged palladium(iii) chain complexes showing charge bistability near room temperature†
Abstract
We synthesized and characterized bromide-bridged Pd(III) chain complexes, [Pd(en)2Br](MalCn–Y)2·H2O (en = ethylenediamine; MalCn–Y = dialkyl sulfomalonate; n: the number of carbon atoms) (n = 7 and 12). The compound with n = 7 showed charge-bistability near room temperature. In addition, it is shown that the Pd(III) state is maintained in the thin film state.
