The palladium(II) complexes Pd(NO2)2L2 (L = PPh3, PMePh2, PMe2Ph, PEt3) react with CO to form Pd4(CO)5L4. These reaction products have been characterized by IR and 31P, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Pd4(CO)5(PPh3)4 crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c with Z = 4, a = 24.957 (5) ?, b = 16.138 (3) ?, c = 17.758 (3) ?, and β = 103.47 (2)°. The palladium atoms are at the corners of a distorted tetrahedron in which five of the six edges are bridged by the carbonyl ligands. The unbridged edge has a Pd-Pd distance of 3.209 (1) ?, indicating the absence of a metal-metal bond. The average bonding Pd-Pd distances are 2.753 (1) and 2.758 (13) ?. The average Pd-P distance is 2.318 (2) ?, and the average Pd-C-Pd angle is 82.0°. Pd(NO2)2(PEt2Ph)2 and PdCl(NO2)(PEt2Ph)2 react with CO to form the novel Pd(I) dimer Pd2(CO)Cl2(PEt2Ph)3, which was also structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The compound crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/a with Z = 4, a = 20.041 (3) ?, b = 11.353 (3) ?, c = 19.920 (5) ?, and β = 129.16 (1)°. The molecule is dimeric with a Pd-Pd bond and is the first example of a semibridging carbonyl ligand in palladium complexes. Pd2 has roughly square-planar geometry with two phosphines, one chloride, and Pd1 comprising its coordination sphere. One phosphine, one chloride, Pd2, and the carbonyl ligand comprise the coordination sphere of Pd1. The semibridging carbonyl produces severe distortion in the coordination geometry of both Pd1 and Pd2. Some important distances and angles include Pd1-Pd2 = 2.6521 (3) ?, Pd1-C = 1.874 (3) ?, Pd2-C = 2.110 (3) ?, and Pd1-C-Pd2 = 83.3 (1)°.
