The title compound, [NH2(CH3)(2)][PdCl3], was produced as a minor prod
uct of the reaction involving 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione and K2PdCl4 in
aqueous HCl. The structure contains [NH2(CH3)(2)](+) cations and [PdC
l3](-) anions, The anion consists of Pd-II atoms bonded to a combinati
on of bridging and terminal Cl- ions in the form of an infinite chain
of general formula [Pd(mu-Cl)(Cl)(2)](2). Each Pd-II atom is bonded in
a four-coordinate square-planar configuration. The cations are hydrog
en bonded to the [PdCl3](-) chain.
