The reaction of cis,trans-1,3,5-triaminocyclohexaneؒ3HX (Lؒ3HX) with PdX 2 (X = Br, Cl) affords a wide range of coordination complexes that represent the different coordination modes available to L. Monoligand complexes [Pd(LH)Cl 2 ]Cl (1) and [Pd(LH)Br 2 ] 2 [PdBr 4 ] (2) demonstrate the bidentate coordination of L with the two cis amino 'head' groups chelating the palladium() ion and the third trans amino 'tail' group being protonated. Diligand complexes [Pd(LH) 2 ]X (X = (NO 3 ) 4 3, (SO 4 ) 2 4) show a 'head-to-head' coordination mode with the protonated trans amino groups adopting a conformation that positions them opposite to each other. Both sets of amino groups are engaged in coordination in a cyclic 'head-to-tail' fashion found in the hexanuclear ring clusters [{Pd(L)X} 6 ]X 6 (X = Cl 5, Br 6). 5 and 6 are isostructural, both in the solid state and in solution, despite accommodating six chloro or bromo ligands into the cluster framework. A trinuclear complex [Pd{Pd(L)Cl 2 } 2 Cl 2 ] (7) reveals 'tail-to-tail' coordination of two ligands for the centre palladium() ion in addition to their 'head' amino groups individually chelating other palladium() ions. Complexes 1-7 were characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR and by NMR spectroscopy (1-6).
