Synthesis and Structure of Chloro Complex of Palladium(II) with {[6-Amino-2-(butylsulfanyl)pyrimidin-4-yl]oxy}acetic Acid

Palladium(II) chloro complex with {[6-amino-2-(butylsulfanyl)pyrimidin-4-yl]oxy}acetic acid has been synthesized via the ligand substitution method. Composition and structure of the coordination compound have been elucidated from the combined data of elemental analysis and spectroscopy. The coordination of {[6-amino-2-(butylsulfanyl)pyrimidin-4-yl]oxy}acetic acid occurs via the formation of a donor-acceptor bond between the palladium(II) ion and the nitrogen atoms in position 1 of the pyrimidine rings, chloride ions entering the inner coordination sphere of the PdCl2L2 complex, to give trans-bis({[6-amino-2-(butylsulfanyl)pyrimidin-4-yl]oxy}-hydroxyacetyl)dichloropalladium(II).
