Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>In the title complex, [PdCl₂(C₁₂H₂₂S₃)]·0.8CH₃CN, a potentially tridentate thioether ligand coordinates in a <italic>cis</italic>‐bidentate manner to yield a square‐planar environment for the Pd^II cation [mean deviation of the Pd from the Cl₂S₂ plane = 0.0406 (7) Å]. Each square‐planar entity packs in an inverse face‐to‐face manner, giving pairs with plane‐to‐plane separations of 3.6225 (12) Å off‐set by 1.1263 (19) Å, with a Pd...Pd separation of 3.8551 (8) Å. A partial acetonitrile solvent molecule is present. The occupancy of this molecule was allowed to refine, and converged to 0.794 (10). The synthesis of the previously unreported 3, 6, 9‐trithiabicyclo[9.3.1]pentadecane ligand is also outlined.</p> </abstract>
