Mixed-valent palladium(iv/ii)-oxoanion, [PdIVO6Pd II6((CH3)2AsO2)6]2−

Abstract

We report on the first example of a Pd^IV-containing polyoxopalladate(II). The discrete mixed-valent polyoxopalladate(IV/II), [Pd^IVPd^II₆O₆((CH₃)₂AsO₂)₆]²⁻, comprising a central Pd^IV ion that is surrounded by a six-membered Pd^II-oxo ring capped by six dimethylarsinate groups, was synthesized and structurally characterized in the solid state, in solution and in the gas phase by multiple analytical techniques.
