Octahedral vs Tiara-like Pd6(SR)12 Clusters

Atomically precise Pd-thiolate clusters are well-known for their well-defined structures and diverse applications involving catalysis, sensors, and biomedicine. While many of these clusters have been studied, their molecular structures typically feature a tiara-like arrangement. In this study, we present the first example of a non-tiara-like Pd-thiolate cluster: the octahedral Pd
