Abstract:
The paramagnetic PdI centers with unpaired electrons have been first revealed by EPR spectroscopy in the polymeric matrices of PdI sorbates [Pd(C6H7O2)H2O]n, [Pd(C6H7O2)]n and 4-pentenate [Pd(C5H7O2)H2O]n. These compounds have been obtained by the reactions between Pd3(MeCO2)6 and sorbic (MeCH=CHCH=CHCOOH) and 4-pentenoic (CH2=CHCH2CH2COOH) acids in MeOH.
