(Benzyl isocyanide-κC1)chlorido(2-chloro-3-dimethylamino-1-phenylprop-1-en-1-yl-κ2C1,N)palladium(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Pd(C11H13ClN)Cl(C8H7N)], which crystallized in the chiral space group P212121, the PdII atom is coordinated by two C atoms, a Csp2 atom of the 2-chloro-3-dimethylamino-1-phenylprop-1-en-1-yl ligand and a Csp atom from the benzyl isocyanide ligand, as well as an N atom of the ligand and a Cl atom, in a square-planar geometry. In the complex, there is a short C—H...Cl hydrogen bond and a C—H...π interaction. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the a-axis direction.
