Tetrakis(dimethyl sulfide)palladium(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate) and tetrakis(1,4-oxathiane-kappaS)palladium(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate).
Tetrakis(dimethyl sulfide)palladium(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate), [Pd(C(2)H(6)S)(4)](BF(4))(2), (I), and tetrakis(1,4-oxathiane-kappaS)palladium(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate), [Pd(C(4)H(8)OS)(4)](BF(4))(2), (II), both crystallize as mononuclear square-planar complexes with tetrafluoroborate as the counter-ions. The Pd atom accepts four S-donor atoms and is positioned at an inversion centre in both compounds. The two unique S atoms in the dimethyl sulfide complex, (I), are disordered. The Pd-S distances are in the range 2.3338(12)-2.3375(12)A in (I), and the corresponding distances in the thioxane complex, (II), are 2.3293(17) and 2.3406(17)A. The anions in both compounds interact weakly with the Pd atom.
