Selective Manipulation of Well-Defined Trinuclear Pd(II)-Complexes.

Several strategies are available to design well-defined multimetallic molecular entities bearing functional ligands. Substoichiometric exchange reactions in the coordination sphere of pre-existing multinuclear precursors are relatively underexploited in this context. Palladium(II) acetate is not a mononuclear compound in the solid state but rather exists as a trimer, i.

Crystal structure of tert-butyl-N-phenyl-carbonitrilium tetra-chlorido-aluminate.

In the title compound, (C11H14N)[AlCl4], the nitrilium (systematic name: 2,2-dimethyl-N-phenyl-propane-nitrilium) ion adopts a slightly distorted linear configuration [C-N C = 178.87 (16) and N C-C = 179.13 (17)°].
