Crystal Structure of Bis(2-methoxy-6-((Z)-(p-tolylimino)methyl)phenoxy)palladium

Abstract

The structure of bis(2-methoxy-6-((Z)-(p-tolylimino)methyl)phenoxy)palladium crystallized in a monoclinic system and was characterized thus: P2₁/c, a = 13.0221(14), b = 11.6615(13), c = 8.4898(9)Å, β = 97.327(4)°, Z = 2, V = 1278.7(2)ų. The crystal structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares on F² to final values of R1 = 0.0349 [I > 2σ(I)] and wR2 = 0.0824. The molecules have two-fold symmetry about the centre Pd1 atom. Two ligands were coordinated to the Pd1 atom via oxygen and nitrogen atoms in a bidentate manner to form a square-planar geometrical structure.
