Abstract
Seven polyoxopalladate compounds, [Pd 15(SeO 3) 10(μ 3-O) 10] 10-, with Na + (1) and K + (2) as counterions, and Na 6[M II{Pd 12(SeO 3) 8(μ 4-O) 8}]̇nH 2O (M = Co (3), Zn (4), Ni (5), Cu (6), Mn (7); n = 7-9), have been prepared and characterized by SXRD, FT-IR, UV-vis, EA, TGA, and ESI-MS. These compounds comprise two distinct cluster configurations, {Pd 15} and {M IIPd 12}, which reveals the possibility of obtaining desired noble metal clusters with a certain nuclearity by using different cations as potential structural directing or template agents in synthesis. All compounds showed apparent absorptions in the visible light region, while 3 and 7 were found to show paramagnetic behavior typical of mononuclear Co II and Mn II complexes with zero-field splitting.
