Persistence of C–H⋯π(chelate ring) interactions in the crystal structures of Pd(S2COR)2. The utility of Pd(S2COR)2 as precursors for palladium sulphide materials

The crystallographic structures of 12 palladium xanthates, PdIJS2COR)2 (R = alkyl) show a uniform adoption of square-planar PdS4 geometries. Supramolecular aggregation in 1 (R = Me), 2 (Et) and 3 (n-Pr) is based on secondary Pd⋯S interactions, which are “turned off” when the bulk of R increases. In...
