Trans-Dichlorobis(7-thiabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane)palladium(II) and trans-Dichlorobis(7-thiabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane)platinum(II)

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title Pd complex, [PdCl 2 (C 6 H 10 S) 2 ], consists of two independent half molecules lying on inversion centres. The Pd atoms have square-planar coordination with Pd-S distances of 2.300(2) and 2.313(2) A, Pd-Cl distances of 2.300 (2) and 2.307(2)A, and S-Pd-Cl angles of 88.21 (8) and 90.12 (8)°. The Pt complex, [PtC1 2 (C 6 H 10 S) 2 ], has the Pt atom lying on an inversion centre, also has square-planar coordination, and has a Pt-S distance of 2.286(2), a Pt-Cl distance of 2.300(2)A and a S-Pt-Cl angle of 89.25 (8)°.
