In the title complex, [Pd(C13H10N3O)2], the PdII atom is tetracoordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from two bidentate 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-methylphenolate ligands, forming a square-planar environment. The asymmetric unit contains one half molecule in which the Pd atom lies on a centre of symmetry.
The title complex was synthesized by the following procedures (Fig. 2): 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-methylphenol (0.45 g, 2.0 mmol) and Pd(OAc)2 (0.22 g, 1.0 mmol) was stirred at ambient temperature in THF (25 ml) for 12 h during which a red-orange precipitate formed (yield: 75%). The resulting solids were crystallized from CH2Cl2 solution to yield red crystals. Anal. calcd for C26H20N6O2Pd: C, 56.28; H, 3.63; N, 15.15%. Found: C, 56.13; H, 3.79; N, 15.46%.
The H atoms were placed in idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C–H = 0.93 and 0.96Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2 and 1.5Ueq(C).

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

During the last 2 decades, the synthesis and characterization of polypeptides is an interesting research field that received considerable attentions. The chemical synthesis of high molecular weight poly(α-peptides) can be accomplished by the ring-opening polymerization of α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydride (α-NCA) initiated by suitable initiators/catalysts. Among these initiators/catalysts, the Ni, Co, Fe, Pd, Pt, Ru, Ir, and Al complexes modified by adequate ligands have been shown to be active initiators/catalysts for NCA polymerization (Kricheldorf, 2006). In particular, Deming, (1997), reported that Schiff base ligand containing primary amine complexes of Co, Ni, Pd, and Cu metal ion could efficiently catalyze polymerizations of γ-benzyl L-glutamate N-carboxyanhydride (Glu-NCA) to achieve poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate). Recently, Peng et al., 2008, has also reported the Pt complex supported by amido-sulfonamidate ligand and this complex has been demonstrated as efficient initiators for living ROP of α-NCA. Most recently, we have successfully synthesized and structural characterized a N,N',O-tridentate Schiff base of Cu(II) complex (Lin et al., 2008). We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of N,O-bidentate benzotriazol-phenolate ligands incorporated PdII complex (I), a potential catalyst for chemical synthesis of poly(peptides) (Scheme 1).
The solid structure of (I) reveals a monomeric PdII complex (Fig. 1) containing two six-member rings coordinated from these two N,O-bidentate benzotriazol-phenolate ligands. It was found that the asymmetric unit has one half of molecule in which the Pd atom lies on a centre of symmetry. The Pd atom is tetra-coordinated with a normal square planar environment in which two N atoms and two O atoms are coplanar. The two N atoms and two O atoms around Pd atom are trans to each other with bond angle of O–Pd–N1 of 91.74 (7)°. The distances between the Pd atom and O and N1 are 1.9676 (15)Å, 1.9986 (18)Å, respectively. These bond distances of Pd–O and Pd–N1 are around 0.1 Å shorter to those found in the other Schiff base PdII complexes (Yang et al.,1993). The bond distance of imine bond, C7–N1 of the benzotriazol group is 1.359 (3)Å and is 0.01Å longer than the other imine bond, C12–N3 (1.348 (3)Å). This is probably due to the existing coordination bond of the former nitrogen, N1.
