Abstract: | The reactions of 3,10‐C‐meso‐3,5,7,7,10,12,14,14‐octamethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecadiene, L1, and two isomers (LB and LC, differing in the orientation of methyl groups on the chiral carbon atoms) of its reduced form with PdCl2 and K2[Pd(SCN)4], produce square‐planar tetrachloro‐ and tetrathiocyano‐palladium(II) complexes of general formulae [PdL′][PdCl4] and [PdL′][Pd(SCN)4] (L′ = L1, LB and LC), respectively. By contrast, the third ane isomer, LA, upon reaction with the same reagents, PdCl2 and K2[Pd(SCN)4], formed octahedral tetrachloro‐ and tetrathiocyanato‐palladium(IV) complexes [PdLACl2]Cl2 and [PdLA(SCN)2](SCN)2, respectively. The [PdL′][PdCl4] and [PdLACl2]Cl2 complexes undergo substitution reactions with KSCN to form square‐planar and octahedral tetrathiocyanato complexes [PdL′][Pd(SCN)4] and [PdLA(SCN)2](SCN)2, respectively. All complexes have been characterized on the basis of analytical, spectroscopic, conductometric and magnetochemical data. The anti‐fungal and anti‐bacterial activities of these complexes have been studied against some phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria. The crystal structure of [PdL1][Pd(SCN)4] has been confirmed by X‐ray crystallography and shows with square‐planar PdN4 and PdS4 geometries [monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 17.884(3) Å, b = 14.734(2) Å, c = 11.4313(18) Å, β = 104.054(5)° ].
