Crystal Structure of (4-Vinylpyridine)[2-[2-acetyl-2-(ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl]-8-quinolinol-C,N,O]palladium(II)

Abstract

The crystal structure of (4-vinylpyridine)[2-[2-acetyl-2-(ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl]-8-quinolinol-C,N,O]palladium(II) was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 8.274(4)Å, b = 19.087(9)Å, c = 13.084(6)Å, β = 94.335(5)°, V = 2060(1)ų, and Z = 4. The final R value is 0.075. The crystal structure reveals that the complex has a 5,5-chelate ring system, that the geometry around Pd(II) is described as a distorted square-planar, and that the pyridine ring is almost perpendicular to the quinoline ring.
