[3,3′-Dimesityl-1,1′-(4,5:16,17-dibenzo-3,6,9,12,15,18-hexaoxaeicosane-1,20-diyl)diimidazolin-2-ylidene]dithiocyanatopalladium(II)

Abstract

The coordination geometry of the Pd atom in the title compound, [Pd(SCN)2(C46H54N4O6)], is approximately square-planar. The N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) metallacrown ether ligand binds to the Pd atom in a trans orientation through the carbene C atoms of the two imidazole rings and generates a 25-membered chelate ring. Two mutually trans S-bound thiocyanate ligands complete the coordination.
