Bis{(S)-(−)-N-[(2-biphenyl)methylidene]-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethylamine-κN}dichloridopalladium(II)

Abstract

The PdII complex bis{(S)-(−)-N-[(biphenyl-2-yl)methylidene]1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanamine-κN}dichloridopalladium(II), [PdCl2(C22H21NO)2], crystallizes in the monoclinic Sohncke space group P21 with a single molecule in the asymmetric unit. The coordination environment around the palladium is slightly distorted square planar. The N—Pd—Cl bond angles are 91.85 (19), 88.10 (17), 89.96 (18), and 90.0 (2)°, while the Pd—Cl and Pd—N bond lengths are 2.310 (2) and 2.315 (2) Å and 2.015 (2) and 2.022 (6) Å, respectively. The crystal structure features intermolecular N—H...Cl and intramolecular C—H...Pd interactions, which lead to the formation of a supramolecular framework structure.
