Simple Preparations of Pd6Cl12, Pt6Cl12, and Qn[Pt2Cl8+n], n = 1, 2 (Q = TBA+, PPN+) and Structural Characterization of [TBA][Pt2Cl9] and [PPN]2[Pt2Cl10]·C7H8

The hexanuclear Pd6Cl12, i.e., the crystal phase classified as β-PdCl2, was obtained by reacting [TBA]2[Pd2Cl6] with AlCl3 (or FeCl3) in CH2Cl2. The action of AlCl3 on PtCl42-, followed by digestio...
