Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project intended to synthesize linear palladium-extended metal atom chains by bottom-up construction using octanuclear palladium complexes supported by linear tetraphosphines. We have got results suggesting a possibility for further aggregation of the linear palladium units by reduction of Pd8 complexes with an aim of connecting through metal-metal bonding interaction. By using organic compounds as 2-connecting ligands, we have synthesized and characterized coordination polymers consisting of palladium chains.
