Crystal structure of bis[S-hexyl 3-(4-methylbenzylidene)dithiocarbazato-κ2N3,S]palladium(II)

Abstract

The whole molecule of the title complex, [Pd(C15H21N2S2)2], is generated by twofold rotational symmetry. The palladium(II) atom exhibits a square-planar coordination geometry, and is located on the crystallographic twofold axis that induces a cis configuration of the N,S chelating ligands. In the crystal, molecules stack along the c-axis direction and there are no significant intermolecular interactions present. The structure was refined as an inversion twin with a final BASF parameter of 0.34 (2).
