Dichlorido{(E)-2,4,6-trimethyl-N-[phenyl(2-pyridyl)methylidene]aniline-κ2N,N′}palladium(II)
Abstract
The title complex, [PdCl2(C21H20N2)], contains a PdII atom in a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment defined by two N atoms from one 2,4,6-trimethyl-N-[phenyl(2-pyridyl)methylidene]aniline ligand and two Cl atoms, forming a five-membered ring (N—Pd—N—C—C).
