| Abstract: | Two new co-ordination compounds of PdII with 1-vinylimidazole of the formulae [PdL4]Cl2·3H2O and trans-[PdL2Cl2], where L is a 1-vinylimidazole molecule, have been obtained. The compounds were characterised by spectroscopic, molar conductivity, thermogravimetric and magnetochemical measurements. Single crystal X-ray structure analyses of the complexes were also carried out. The compounds are diamagnetic with square-planar coordinatination around the palladium(II) ions. Other physico-chemical properties of the both complexes are compatible with their structures. |
