Palladium complexes ionization potential

Relative differences between S 2p3/2 and O 1 s ionization potentials show a characteristic separation for oxygen-bound and sulphur-bound sulphoxides. It is clearly shown in Table 20 that sulphur-bound complexes have (O 1 s-S 2p3/2) relative shifts of 365.0 eV, while oxygen-bound complexes have relative shifts of 365.8 eV. Infrared and X-ray crystallographic results also show that most neutral platinum and palladium dialkyl sulphoxide complexes contain metal-sulphur rather than metal-oxygen bonds, while first-row transition metals favour oxygen-bonded sulphoxide. 

Palladium(IV) is a relatively rare oxidation state. The paucity of isolated complexes in comparison with PtIV has been ascribed to the much higher ionization potential required to produce Pd4+ (109.5 us. 97.16 eV for PtIV).303 Binary complexes with oxide and the chal-cogenides have been well characterized as have PdF4 and [PdXe]2- (X = F, Cl, Br). The chemistry of platinum group metals in higher oxidation states has been the subject of a recent review.304...
