“…A structure survey was carried out in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD version 5.42, update of November 2020; Groom et al, 2016). It revealed 28 hits for dicationic dimers with a Pd 2 S 2 core, of which ten can be compared with the title compound as they feature the sulfur atoms embedded in a chelating ligand [refcodes CUYLIT (Kouno et al, 2015), NORGEG (Albinati et al, 1997), NOXVAZ (Chen et al 2015), POTMUG (Kersting, 1998), QOCCUG (Su et al, 2000), SELGUL (Leung et al, 1998), TEGWUY (Cabeza et al, 2006), TIXLOE (Mane et al, 2019), XAHBUI (Nayan Sharma et al, 2015), XULYUZ (Azizpoor Fard et al, 2015)]. Hinge angles in the range 115.3-156.6 were measured for these compounds, all values higher than that measured for the title compound [108.0 (1) ].…”
