Synthesis and crystal structure of Pd{C6H4(CH2NHCH2Ph)-2-κ2CN}(μ-I)2

摘要

The binuclear title complex, di-μ-iodido-bis(­{2-[(benzylamino-κN)meth­yl]phenyl-κC ¹}palladium(II)), [Pd2I2(C14H14N)2], was prepared by reaction of [Pd{C6H4(CH2NHCH2Ph)-2}(μ-OAc)]2 with NaI. It crystallizes with one discrete mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The mol­ecule presents an iodide-bridged dimeric structure with a cisoid arrangement with respect to the C,N-cyclo­palladated ligands. Both Pd^II atoms have a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment. Weak inter­molecular contacts of the type C—H⋯Pd seem to have a significant influence on the arrangement of the mol­ecules along the b axis in the crystal.
