Crystal structure of (4-fluorophenyl-κC1)iodido(N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine-κ2N,N′)palladium(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Pd(C6H4F)I(C6H16N2)], the PdII atom is coordinated by two N atoms from the N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine ligand, a C atom of the 4-fluorophenyl group and an iodide ligand in a distorted square-planar geometry, with an average deviation from the least-squares plane through the ligand donor atoms of 0.0159 (2) Å. The angles about the PdII atom range from 83.35 (16) to 178.59 (11)°. In the crystal, weak C—H...F and C—H...I hydrogen bonds link the molecules into sheets in the bc plane.
