“…12 The attractive force between neighboring alkyl chains act as a chemical pressure, resulting in shortening of shortening Pd⋯Pd distance and a phase transition from Pd II –Pd IV MV state to Pd III –Pd III AV state at 206 K upon cooling. Following the publication of this report, several Pd III –Pd III AV compounds have been reported, utilizing various approaches such as the use of different anion skeletons, 13,16 weaker ligand fields in-plane, 14,16 and multiple hydrogen bonds. 15,16…”
