trans-Bis[1-(2-anilino-2-oxoethyl)-3-benzyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl]palladium(II) methanol disolvate

H. M. Lee and Y.-C. Chang

Abstract: In the title compound, [Pd(C₁₈H₁₆N₃O)₂]·2CH₃OH, the Pd^II atom is located on a crystallographic inversion center. It has a square-planar coordination geometry, with the two bidentate ligands coordinated in a trans fashion via the carbene C atom and the amido N atoms. The methanol solvent molecules form O-HO hydrogen bonds with the complex. Additional non-classical intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds link the complexes into a two-dimensional network parallel to (001).
