Abstract

Two discrete anionic palladium(II)-oxo clusters have been prepared: [Pd(13)(As(V)Ph)(8)O(32)](6-) (1) and [Pd(13)Se(IV)(8)O(32)](6-) (2) were synthesized in one-pot self-assembly reactions of Pd(OAc)(2) with PhAsO(3)H(2) and SeO(2) and characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis, IR, thermogravimetric analysis, elemental analysis, magnetic and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements, and electrochemistry.
