[1-Benzyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazole-[kappa]2N2,N3]dichloridopalladium(II)

C.-S. Liu and X.-S. Shi

Abstract top

In the title compound, [PdCl2(C15H13N3)], the PdII center is four-coordinated by two N-atom donors from one 1-benzyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-1H-pyrazole ligand and by two Cl atoms in a distorted square-planar coordination environment. In the crystal structure, adjacent PdII mononuclear units are linked to form dimers through C-H...[pi] interactions. The dimers are further interlinked by weak intermolecular C-H...Cl interactions.

Comment top

Nowadays, much attention has been focused on the synthetic approach and the structural control of metal-organic coordination architectures with ligands based on pyrazolyl-pyridine chelating units (Steel, 2005; Ward et al., 2001;). In this field many novel functional complexes through the use of 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole and/or 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole-based ligands (Bell et al., 2003; Paul et al., 2004; Singh et al., 2003; Ward et al., 2001; Zou et al.,2004) have been reported. Recently, we have reported the preparation of a non-planar ligand, 1-[3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazol-1-ylmethyl]benzene (denoted L) (Liu et al., 2007; Shi et al., 2005). Now we report here the crystal structure of a palladium complex of this ligand, [Pd(L)Cl2].

In the title compound, the PdII center is four-coordinated by two N-atoms from one L ligand and two Cl atoms (Table 1). The coordination geometry around the PdII center can be described as distorted square planar (Fig. 1).

In the crystal structure, the PdII mononuclear units at (x, y, z) and (1 − x, 2 − y, −z) are interconnected to form a dimer through intermolecular C—H···π interactions involving C1—C6 (centroid Cg1) benzene rings of the L ligands (Sony and Ponnuswamy, 2006) (Table 2). The dimers are further interlinked to form a chain along the b axis by weak intermolecular C—H···Cl (Table 2) interactions (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999).

Experimental top

The ligand 1-[3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazol-1-ylmethyl]benzene (L) was synthesized according to the method reported in the literature (Liu et al., 2007; Shi et al., 2005). A solution of PdCl2 (0.1 mmol) in the mixture solution of methanol (15 ml) and acetonitrile (5 ml) was added to L (0.1 mmol). A yellow solid formed was filtered off and the resulting solution was kept at room temperature. Yellow single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of the solvent after several days (yield: ~30%). Analysis calculated for (C15H13PdCl2N2): C 45.20, H 3.29, N 7.03%; found: C 45.11, H 3.41, N 7.21%.

Refinement top

H atoms were included in calculated positions and treated in the subsequent refinement as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic) or 0.97 Å (methylene) and O—H = 0.82 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and 1.5Ueq(O).

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
