EASY METALATION OF THE SUBSTITUTED DIMETHYL SULFIDE MESCH(2)R (R=C(O)OET) BY PALLADIUM ACETATE AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE TRINUCLEAR MIXED-SPHERE [PD-3(MU-O(2)CME)(3)(MU-MESCHR)(3)] COMPLEX

Palladium acetate reacts with the weak carbon. acid MeSCH(2)R (R = C(O
)OEt) to give [Pd-3(mu-O(2)CMe)(3)(mu-MeSCHR)(3)] (1), characterized b
y X-ray crystallography. The MeSCHC(O)OEt(-) anion acts as a bidentate
Ligand binding two palladium atoms via a (Me)SCH(R) bridge, in which
the methine carbon. is chiral. Complex 1 is the first mixed-sphere pal
ladium complex in which the solid-state nuclearity and structure of pa
lladium acetate is retained.
