Abstract

Unprecedented metal-core architectures are exhibited by the title palladium cluster compounds, the structures of which consist of twinned cuboctahedral units. The Pd30 core (see picture) consists of two Pd13 fragments that form a Pd20 bicuboctahedron (blue) with six common atoms, in addition to six face-capping (orange) and four wingtip (green) Pd atoms. The Pd54 core is a more complex, five-layered supracluster, but contains the same central Pd20 bicuboctahedron as observed in the Pd30 cluster.
