Resumo

Two cyclic octanuclear complexes, 2 and 3, of cation composition [{Pd(bpy)}8C4]8+ (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) form side by side when [Pd(bpy)(H2O)2]2+ and cytosine (H2C) are reacted in water. The two complexes are isomers, composed of central metallacalix[4]arene backbones to which four additional Pd(bpy) units are bonded pairwise to exocyclic groups of the C2− ligands. As a consequence of differences in the N1−N3 connectivity patterns of the two central Pd4C4 rings and 1,3-alternate rotamer states of cytosinate in both compounds, the spatial arrangements of exocyclic groups are distinctly different, leading to two Pd3 stacks and two Pd1 entities in 2, yet to four Pd2 stacks in 3.
