[1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane-κ2P,P]chlorido(isonicotinamide-κN)palladium(II) nitrate acetonitrile monosolvate

Abstract

The PdII central atom in the title complex, [PdCl(C26H24P2)(C6H6N2O)]NO3·CH3CN or [PdCl(dppe)(INAM)]NO3·CH3CN, where dppe is 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane and INAM is isonicotinamide, exists in a slightly distorted square-planar environment defined by the two P atoms of the dppe ligand, a chloride ligand and the N atom of the isonicotinamide pyridyl ring. The crystal packing in the structure is held together by hydrogen bonds between the amide of the INAM ligand and the nitrate ions that complete the outer coordination sphere. A molecule of acetonitrile is also found in the asymmetric unit of the title complex.
