Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Palladium(II) Complex Polymer Having Network Structure with Guest Water Molecules

The polymeric palladium complex of [Pd3K6(i-mnt)3(H2O)2]n (i-mnt = [(S2C=C(CN)2]2-) has been prepared from the reaction of PdCl2 and K2[(S2C=C(CN)2] in CH3CN. The complex has three dimensional network structure, in which two Pd, two K, four S, four N and twelve C atoms form a 24-membered ring, and the rings are further arranged in eclipsed configuration along c axis to give a channel with H2O as guest molecules.
