The reaction of cis-protected (Me4en)Pd(II) species with potentially multidentate bis(benzylthio)methylenepropanedioate (L) was carried out to obtain a monometallic compound, [(Me4en)Pd(L)], in O,O’-coordination mode. The bis(benzylthio)methylene group was bent strikingly from the palladium square plane at the dihedral angle of 70.40°. The physicochemical properties of the present palladium(II) compound were fully characterized by means of infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurement.
