Bis(tropolonato)palladium(II)

G. Steyl

Abstract: A new type of highly symmetrical -diketone palladium(II) complex, bis(tropolonato)palladium(II) (tropolone = 2-hydroxy-2,4,6-cycloheptatrienone), [Pd(C₇O₂H₅)], crystallizes in a square-planar geometry with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The Pd-O bond distances and O-Pd-O internal angles lie in the ranges 1.969 (2)-2.002 (2) Å and 81.83 (9)-99.28 (9)°, respectively. Weak intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds link the essentially planar molecules into ribbons extending along the a axis.
