The Layered Planar Structure of Barium 1,3-Dithiepan-2-ylidenemalonate

Abstract

Barium 1,3-dithiepan-2-ylidenemalonate has been prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The compound is a two-dimensional infinite structure obtained via intermetallic coordination of the carboxylate groups, where the organic group of the seven-membered dithioether ring is arranged on both faces of the barium−oxygen plate.

Solvent Effects on Coordination Chemistry – Stepwise Synthesis and Structural Properties of Monometallic Palladium(II) Complexes and Bimetallic Palladium(II)/Platinum(II) Complexes

“…Platinum(II) complexes of a series of potential tetradentate bis(alkylthio)ylidenemalonato ligands8 were prepared and investigated in our group;9 however, monometallic palladium(II) complexes as well as Pd II /Pt II or Pd II /Pd II bimetallic complexes of the bis(alkylthio)ylidenemalonato ligands remain unexplored. In this context, we report the stepwise syntheses along with the crystal structures and solution‐dynamic properties of monometallic palladium(II) and bimetallic Pd II /Pt II or Pd II /Pd II complexes containing ligands 1 – 3 .…”
