[Pd <sub>2</sub> (η <sup>4</sup> -P <sub>7</sub> ) <sub>2</sub> ] <sup>4−</sup> : a Pd <sub>2</sub> sandwiched by two anionic nortricyclane-type polyphosphides
By introducing [Pd(PPh<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub>] into a P<sub>7</sub><sup>3-</sup> solution, we have successfully synthesized and crystallized [Pd<sub>2</sub>(η<sup>4</sup>-P<sub>7</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>4-</sup> (1a) in [Na(crypt-222)]<sub>4</sub>1a. As a phosphide congener of the reported [Pd<sub>2</sub>As<sub>14</sub>]<sup>4-</sup>, 1a can be viewed as a Pd<sub>2</sub> sandwiched by two (η<sup>4</sup>-P<sub>7</sub>) units, representing the first organic-ligand-free Pd-P cluster. In addition, 1a provides a platform for investigating Pd-P alloys on the molecular level.
