Bis{(S)-(-)-N-[(2-biphen-yl)methyl-idene]-1-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)ethyl-amine-κN}di-chlorido-palladium(II).

ABSTRACT

The PdII complex bis-{(S)-(-)-N-[(biphenyl-2-yl)methyl-idene]1-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)ethanamine-κN}di-chlorido-palladium(II), [PdCl2(C22H21NO)2], crystallizes in the monoclinic Sohncke space group P21 with a single mol-ecule 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) Šand 2.015 (2) and 2.022 (6) Å, respectively. The crystal structure features inter-molecular N-H⋯Cl and intramolecular C-H⋯Pd inter-actions, which lead to the formation of a supramolecular framework structure.
