N-Benzoyl-N',N'-dibutylselenourea and its palladium(II) complex

J. C. Bruce and K. R. Koch

Abstract: The crystal and molecular structures of N-benzoyl-N',N'-dibutylselenourea (HL), C₁₆H₂₄N₂OSe, and the corresponding complex bis(N-benzoyl-N',N'-dibutylselenoureato- [kappa] ²Se,O)palladium(II), [Pd(C₁₆H₂₃N₂OSe)₂], are reported. The selenourea molecule is characterized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the selenoamidic H atom and the Se atom of a neighbouring molecule forming a dimer, presumably as a consequence of resonance-assisted hydrogen bonding or [pi] -bonding co-operativity. A second dimeric hydrogen bond is also described. In the palladium complex, the typical square-planar coordination characteristic of such ligands results in a cis-[Pd(L-Se,O)₂] complex.

Formula: C₁₆H₂₄N₂OSe and [Pd(C₁₆H₂₃N₂OSe)₂]
