Abstract

The purpose of this study was to prepare and characterize complexes produced by the reactions of spermine and spermidine with palladium(II) chloride. A first analysis of the problem seemed to indicate that preparation of the complexes should be straightforward and not difficult. Bonding of the nitrogen atoms to the metals allows sterically for formation of two six-membered rings separated by a tetramethylene chain in a spermine complex, and by a six-membered chelate ring in a spermidine complex.
