C1)chlorido(2-chloro-3-dimethylamino-1-phenylprop-1-en-1-yl-
2C1,N)palladium(II)In the title compound, [Pd(C11H13ClN)Cl(C8H7N)], which crystallized in the chiral space group P212121, the PdII atom is coordinated by two C atoms, a Csp2 atom of the 2-chloro-3-dimethylamino-1-phenylprop-1-en-1-yl ligand and a Csp atom from the benzyl isocyanide ligand, as well as an N atom of the ligand and a Cl atom, in a square-planar geometry. In the complex, there is a short C-H
Cl hydrogen bond and a C-H
interaction. In the crystal, molecules are linked via C-H
Cl hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the a-axis direction.
The title compound is the product of a cleavage reaction. It was obtained from the reaction between the dimer [Pd (DMBA)(µX)]2 [where X = Cl, N3, NCO, and DMBA = 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene] and thiourea, in a 1:2 stoichiometric ratio in chloroform. The solution was stirred during 1 h and then the mixture was left for the solvent to slowly evaporate at room temperature. Large yellow needle-shaped crystals, suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis, were obtained.
The C-bound H-atoms were included in calculated positions and treated as riding atoms: C—H = 0.93, 0.96 and 0.97 Å, for CH, CH3 and CH2 H atoms, respectively, with Uiso(H) = k × Ueq(parent C-atom), were k = 1.5 for CH3 H atoms, and = 1.2 for other H atoms.

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. |

The title compound was obtained from the reaction between the dimer [Pd(DMBA)(µX)]2 [where X = Cl, N3, NCO, and DMBA = 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene] and thiourea, being the product of a cleavage reaction. As a palladium complex it could be of interest with respect to anticancer activity.
In the title compound, Fig. 1, the palladium atom coordinates to two C atoms, a Csp2 and a Csp atom [Pd1—C9 2.006 (5) Å, Pd1—C1 1.928 (6) Å, respectively], the amine N atom [Pd1—N2 2.098 (4) Å] and an atom of chlorine [Pd1—Cl1 2.3929 (2) Å], with a square planar geometry. The distances and angles in the title compound are close to those reported for similar compounds (Moro et al., 2004; Caires et al., 2006; Mafud et al., 2013). In the molecule there is a short C-H···Cl contact and a C-H···π interaction (Table 1).
In the crystal, molecules are linked via C-H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2 and Table 1) forming chains along the a axis.
