Palladium(II) complexes of thiones having the general formula [Pd(L)4]Cl2, where L = thiourea (Tu), methylthiourea (Metu), N,N′-dimethylthiourea (Dmtu), and tetramethylthiourea (Tmtu) were prepared by reacting K2[PdCl4] with the corresponding thiones. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and two of these, [Pd(Dmtu)4]Cl2 ¡¤ 2H2O (1) and [Pd(Tmtu)4]Cl2 (2), by X-ray crystallography. An upfield shift in the >C=S resonance of thiones in 13C NMR and downfield shift in N–H resonance in 1H NMR are consistent in showing sulfur coordination with palladium(II). The crystal structures of the complexes show a square-planar coordination environment around the Pd(II) ions with the average cis and trans S–Pd–S bond angles of 89.64¡ã and 173.48¡ã, respectively.
