trans-Dichloridobis(2,4-dimethylaniline-κN)palladium(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [PdCl2(C8H11N)2], the PdII atom is located on a crystallographic inversion center and adopts a square-planar coordination geometry, with pairs of equivalent ligands in trans positions. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked with each other through weak N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions between the phenyl rings [shortest centroid–centroid distance = 3.720 (2) Å], leading to the formation of layers parallel to the a-axis direction.
