cis-(Pyridin-2-ylcarbonimidodithioato-κ2S,S′)bis(triphenylphosphane-κP)palladium(II)

Abstract

The title compound, [Pd(C6H4N2S2)(C18H15P)2], was obtained as a minor product from the reaction of trans-PdCl2(PPh3)2 with piperazine-1,4-dicarbothioic acid bis(pyridin-2-yl)amide. The PdII atom displays a slightly distorted square-planar PdP2S2 geometry with a bidentately coordinated pyridin-2-ylcarbonimidodithioate ligand and two triphenylphosphine molecules, coordinated in cis positions. The crystal structure features weak π–π [centroid–centroid distance =3.7327(15) Å] and C–H...π interactions and contains an almost spherically shaped void of 50.4 Å3 per unit cell.
