cis-(2-Amino-1,1-dimethylethylamine)dichloropalladium(II) ethanol hemisolvate

L. J. Farrugia, R. J. Cross and H. R. L. Barley

Abstract: The title complex, [PdCl₂(C₄H₁₂N₂)]·0.5C₂H₆O, (I), lies in a general position with a disordered molecule of ethanol solvate on a twofold symmetry axis. It adopts the expected square-planar geometry. The electron-donating properties of the CMe₂ group attached to one N atom are apparent in the slightly shorter corresponding Pd-N distance and slightly longer Pd-Cl bond trans to this vector. There is a hydrogen-bonding network involving weak N-HCl and stronger O-HN and N-HO interactions, in a chain parallel to the c axis.
