| Abstract: | Abstract By reaction of palladium halides with D,L-ethionine (D,L-EthH; molar ratio 1:1) in dichloromethane solutions containing an excess of 2,6-dimethyl-4H-pyran-4-one (DMP) Pd(D,L-EthH)X2] (X?Cl, Br or I) complexes have been isolated. When the solvent was benzene Pd(D,L-EthH)X2].DMP adducts were obtained in which the DMP molecule does not bind to the metal. The complexes have been characterized by infrared and nmr (1H and 13C) spectroscopy and by thermogravimetric measurements (TG, DTG and DTA). The importance of DMP in determining the reaction course is discussed. |
