title: Halogen anion-induced formation of[(PdLX)2] (X = Cl-, Br-, I-) vs. [PdL2] (L = [6-MeO(O)CC6H4NHC(S)NP(S)(OiPr)2]-): reversible photoinduced cis/trans isomerization of [PdL2].
abstract: Reaction of the potassium salt of N-thiophosphorylated thiourea 6-MeO(O)CC(6)H(4)NHC(S)NHP(S)(OiPr)(2) (HL) with PdX(2) (X = Cl(-), Br(-), I(-)) leads to the dark red binuclear complexes [(PdLX)(2)], while the same reaction with PdY(2) (Y = NO(3)(-), CN(-), CH(3)COO(-)) leads to the light red mononuclear complex [PdL(2)]. [PdL(2)] exhibits reversible photoinduced cis-isomerization upon irradiation at 365 or 450 nm, reverting back to the trans-isomer in darkness or upon irradiation at 546 nm.
