Abstract
Abstract Treatment of bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium with trimethylphosphine under a carbon monoxide atmosphere gives the title complex in good yield. X-ray crystallography has shown the structure of the complex to consist of an octahedron of palladium atoms which is bicapped by two further palladium atoms in an asymmetric fashion. Seven of the eight palladium centres carry terminal trimethylphosphine ligands. Two face-bridging and six edge-bridging CO molecules complete the ligand shell.
