-chlorido-bis({9-[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)iminomethyl]anthracen-1-yl}palladium(II))The centrosymmetric title compound, [Pd2Cl2(C27H26N)2], was obtained by a C-H bond-activation reaction of a Schiff base ligand with Li2PdCl4 in methanol, and was crystallized from dichloromethane as orange crystals. The Pd atom displays a slightly distorted square-planar geometry, with the N- and C-atom donors in a cis arrangement.
Anthracen-9-ylmethylene-(2,6-di-isopropylphenyl)-amine (383 mg, 1.05 mmol) was mixed with Li2PdCl4 (262 mg, 1 mmol) and NaOAc (86 mg, 1.05 mmol) in 5 ml of methanol. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 days. The title compound was filtrated and dried under vacuo in the yield of 65% (329 mg). The crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from a dichloromethane solution by slow evaporation at room temperatures.
All H atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding on their parent atoms with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic), 0.96 (methyl), 0.98 Å (methine) with Uiso(H) = 1.2 (1.5 for methyl groups) times Ueq(C).

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. |

Recently, much attention is being paid to the use of palladacycles as catalyst precursors (Dupont et al. 2005). Several imine-palladacycles with six-membered rings were prepared as catalyst precursors (Munno et al. 1995). We prepared a new palladacycle with six-membered ring by a C—H bond activation reaction between a Schiff base ligand and Li2PdCl4 in methanol. In its orange crystals palladium displays a slightly distorted square-planar geometry with the nitrogen and the carbon donors in cis-fashion. The length of C26—N1 (1.292 (6) Å) is characteristic for a C=N double bond. The distances of Pd—Cl bond trans to the carbon donor are slightly longer (ca 0.12 Å) than those trans to the imine donor, as expected, because of the trans influence. The chelate ring of Pd1—N1—C26—C27—C24—C23 adopts a twisted half-chair conformation, which is due to the presence of three double bonds of N1—C26, C23—C24 and C24—C27 in the ring. The isopropyl groups on the aromatic ring may readily force the N-phenyl ring perpendicular to the coordination plane.
