A 2,2'-Bipyridine Dipalladium(II) Coordination System That Shows Three Different Coordination Modes of 3-Aminopropanethiol on Deprotonation
Three dinuclear palladium(II) complexes with 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) were synthesized from [Pd(bpy)C12] and 3-amino-propanethiol (Rapt) by changing reaction conditions. It was found that Hapt can adopt three different coordination modes (Hapt-kappa S-2, apt-kappa N,kappa S-2, H_1apt-kappa N-2,kappa S-2) dependent on its protonation states in this coordination system.
