title: A triangulo palladium cluster consisting of μ3-capping silyl ligands.
abstract: We report on the utility of multifunctional, κ(1)Si:κ(3)S-coordinated tris(methimazolyl)silanide ligands [Si(mt(Me))(3)](-) for the stabilisation of a triangulo palladium cluster [Pd(3){Si(mt(Me))(3)}(2)] (3) consisting of very unusual μ(3)-capping SiR(3) donors. Differences to the corresponding platinum chemistry were supported by NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations.
