Tetraaquabis[(1-carboxylatomethyl-1,3-benzimidazol-3-ium-3-yl)acetato-κO]palladium(II) dihydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Pd(C11H9N2O4)2(H2O)4]·2H2O, the palladium(II) cation lies on an inversion centre and is hexacoordinated by two carboxylate O atoms from two (1-carboxylatomethyl-1,3-benzimidazol-3-ium-3-yl)acetate ligands and four water molecules, with a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules together.
