Mononuclear and dinuclear square planar palladium(II) complexes (denoted by [(hfac)Pd(II)(L-LH)] and [(hfac)Pd(II)(L-L)Pd(II)(hfac)], respectively) were synthesized. Here hfac(-), HL-L(-) and L-L(2-) denote hexafluoroacetylacetonato, monoprotonated and non-protonated bis-β-diketonato ligands, respectively. Three bis-β-diketones were used as HL-LH: 1,2-diacetyl-1,2-dibenzoylethane (denoted by da...
