Abstract
Recent development in the chemistry of multinuclear sandwich compounds is summarized in this article. Existence of stable multinuclear sandwich complexes was proven through isolation and structural characterization of a series of multinuclear palladium sandwich complexes. One-dimensional multinuclear sandwich complexes in which two parallel unsaturated hydrocarbon ligands flank a Pd chain were prepared in a size selective manner. Moreover, two-dimensional multinuclear sandwich complexes which contain a Pd sheet between two unsaturated hydrocarbon ligands were also prepared by employing mono- and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as the facially coordinated ligands. Unique behavior of the multinuclear sandwich compounds such as the sliding of the bridging ligands was also revealed. These findings lead to new aspects in the structures of organotransition metal compounds.
