Bis{benzyl 3-[(1H-indol-3-yl)methylidene]dithiocarbazato-κ2N3,S}palladium(II) N,N-dimethylformamide disolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Pd(C17H14N3S2)2]·2C3H7NO, the deprotonated Schiff base ligand acts as an N,S-bidentate chelate, forming a five-membered ring with the metal atom. The PdII ion, located on an inversion center, is four-coordinated by two of the Schiff base ligands in a square-planar geometry. In the crystal, the indolic NH groups are bonded to the dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent molecules via an N—H...O interaction. In addition, C—H...S interactions are observed.
