A pentanuclear coordination complex assembled from any palladium(II) component and non-chelating ligands is hitherto unreported. The pentanuclear complex [Pd-5(L1)(5)(L2)(5)](BF4)(10), 1 reported here was prepared by the spontaneous complexation of [Pd(DMSO)(4)](BF4)(2) with the non-chelating bidentate ligands 1,4-phenylenebis(methylene) diisonicotinate, L1 and 4,4-bipyridine, L2 in a one-pot method at room temperature. The planar polycyclic complex 1 with outer diameters of approximate to 3nm is termed as a molecular star owing to its resemblance with a pentagram shape. Interim paths leading to the star were also probed to decipher related dynamics of the system.
