Formation of a Novel Diaqua Disodium Tetrakis(1-methyluracilato)palladium Complex with a Unique Supramolecular Channel Structure
A novel [Na2Pd(1-MeU−)4(H2O)2]n (1) columnar complex is prepared from the reaction of an aqueous solution containing Na2PdCl4 with four equivalent amount of 1-methyluracil (1-MeUH) in the presence of Na2CO3. X-ray structure of 1 reveals that the complex forms an infinite supramolecular channel structure in the crystal.
