Structural study of a Pd-Fe hetero-trinuclear compound

Cyclometallated compounds, specifically cyclopalladates, have been synthesized for years. In this work, we describe a new family of compounds in which an iron core has been additionally introduced into a Pd complex. This novel feature provides interesting properties to these compounds, such as the possibility of undergoing reduction˗oxidation processes due to the versatility of the iron nucleus. XRD studies of the resulting crystalline structure enable the study of the compound behavior.
