trans-Dichloridobis[(pyridin-4-yl)boronic acid-κN]palladium(II) dimethyl sulfoxide disolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [PdCl2(C5H6BNO2)2]·2C2H6OS, the PdII ion is located on an inversion centre and is four-coordinated in a trans square-planar geometry by two chloride ions and two (pyridin-4-yl)boronic acid ligands. The Pd—N and Pd—Cl distances are 2.023 (2) and 2.2977 (7) Å, respectively, and the average N—Pd—Cl angle is 90°. The dimethyl sulfoxide solvent molecules play a key role in the crystal structure by bridging the complex molecules via O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming tapes running along the b axis. C—H...O interactions also contribute to the cohesion of the crystal.
