Palladium Complexes of 1,4,7-Trithiacyclodecane

The 10S3 ligand in [Pd(10S3)Cl₂], dichloro(1,4,7-trithiacyclodecane)palladium(II), where 10S3 is 1,4,7-trithiacyclodecane, C₇H₁₄S₃, forms a six-membered chelate ring in which the average length of the two equatorial Pd-S bonds is 2.264 (2) Å and the weak axial Pd...S bond is 3.071 (2) Å. The same ligand in bis(1,4,7-trithiacyclodecane)palladium dichloride heptahydrate, [Pd(10S3)₂]Cl₂.7H₂O, forms two five-membered chelate rings, in which the average length of the four equatorial Pd-S bonds is 2.310 (1) Å and the length of the two weak axial Pd-S bonds is 3.051 (1) Å.
