Reactions of AgNO/sub 3/ with Ni(delta-HCQD)/sub 2/ or Pd(delta-HCQD)/sub 2/, where delta-HCQD/sup -/ is delta-camphorquinone dioximato, yielded the hexanuclear metal cluster complexes (Ni(delta-HCQD)/sub 2/Ag)/sub 3/.2.5CHCl/sub 3/, Ni-Ag, and (Pd(delta-HCQD)/sub 2/Ag)/sub 3/.2CHCl/sub 3/, Pd-Ag, respectively. X-ray crystallographic studies performed on both complexes showed them to belong to space group P2/sub 1/2/sub 1/2/sub 1/. The unit cell dimensions of Ni-Ag are a = 15.990 (5) A, B = 38.44 (1) A, c = 13.437 (5) A, V = 8260.97 A/sup 3/, and Z = 4 while those of Pd-Ag are a = 16.110 (6), b = 38.92 (1), c = 13.393 (3) A, V = 8395.55 A/sup 3/, and Z = 4. Block-diagonal least-squares refinement of 3021 observed reflections for Ni-Ag and 6112 for Pd-Ag converged to R/sub F/ = 10.7 and 11.4 (R/sub w/ = 12.7 and 15.0) for the Ni-Ag and Pd-Ag structures, respectively. Their structures indicate that each hexanuclear molecule consists of three individual M(delta-HCQD)/sub 2//sup -/units which act as multidentate ligands coordinating to a linear chain of three silver atoms. The coordination geometry around each M ion in the M(delta-HCQD)/sub 2//sup -/units is square planar, and the delta-HCQD/sup -/ligands are coordinated to M via N and O atoms. The Ag in the center of the molecule is coordinated to six O atoms with average Ag-O distances of 2.49 (3) and 2.45 (2) A for Ni-Ag and Pd-Ag, respectively. The two silver atoms at the ends of the chain are each coordinated to three nitrogen atoms from the M(delta-HCQD)/sub 2//sup -/ units with average Ag-N distances of 2.20 (4) and 2.27 (3) A, respectively. The Ag-Ag distances, 3.059 (5) and 3.052 (5) A in Ni-Ag and 3.173 (3) and 3.179 (3) A in Pd-Ag, are somewhat longer than those (2.89 A) in Ag metal and indicate that there are Ag-Ag interactions along the linear chains.
