Direct synthesis from palladium dichloride of the camphor complexes trans-[PdCl2(3-RC(10)H(14)O)(2)] (R = NNMe(2), NOMe, NOH), [PdCl2(3-NNMe(2)C(10)H(14)O)], cis-[PdCl2(3-dimethylhydrazinocamphorsulfonimide)(2)] and [PdCl2 (camphorsulfonimide-tricyclane)(2)] has been achieved. The molecular structures obtained by X-ray diffraction analysis of cis-[PdCl2((3-dimethylhydrazino)camphosrulfonimide)(2)] and trans-[PdCl2((3-dimethylhydrazino)camphor)(2)] show they crystallize in the orthorhombic (P2(1)P2(1)P2(1), with a 11.515(3) Angstrom, b = 14.504(3) Angstrom, 18.546(9) Angstrom, and Z = 4) and monoclinic (P2(1), a = 17.053(1) Angstrom, b = 9.944(1) Angstrom, c = 17.247(1) Angstrom, beta = 108.93(I)degrees, and Z = 4) space groups, respectively. The redox properties of all the complexes and ligands were studied by cyclic voltammetry and, whenever convenient, controlled-potential electrolysis.
