Each palladium ion is coordinated by <scene name='Metal-Ligand_Polyhedra/Polyhedron_main_chains/9'>four nitrogens</scene>. The nitrogens are bridged by a <scene name='Metal-Ligand_Polyhedra/Single_main_chain_ligand/2'>dipyridylthiophene</scene> ("ligand"). There are two ligand molecules (L) per metal ion (M); hence, this structure is called '''M24L48'''.
