title: anti-bis(mu-2-ammonioethanethiolato-kappa2S:S)bis[dichloropalladium(II)] dihydrate.
abstract: Each of two square-planar Pd(II) ions in the title compound, [Pd2Cl4(mu-Haet-S)2]*2H2O (Haet = 2-ammonioethanethiolate, C2H7NS), which was obtained by rearrangement of [Pd2[Pd(aet-N,S)2]4]4+ in acidic solution, is coordinated by two bridging S atoms from two Haet ligands and by two terminal Cl atoms, forming the dinuclear structure. Since the complex is situated on a center of symmetry, the two monodentate Haet arms are located on opposite sides of the central Pd2S2 square plane, i.e. the present complex is the anti isomer. The S-C-C-N torsion angle is 177.3 (6) degrees and some intermolecular hydrogen bonds are observed.
