Dimetallated thioether complexes as building blocks for organometallic coordination polymers and aggregates

Abstract
The thioether ligand, 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(phenylthiomethyl)benzene, L, can be doubly palladated at the central fragment to form a complex, which, upon reaction with aromatic N-donors (pyrazine, 4,4′-bipyridyl), forms linear Organometallic coordination polymers.
