Comment top

Palladium complex compounds with N–containing organic ligands attract constant scientific interest due to its cytostatic and antitumoral activity (Curic et al., 1996; Casas et al., 2008). Asymmetric unit of title compound contains half of a molecule, other one generates by the symmetry operator of inversion centre (Fig. 1). Pd atom shows a square–planar geometry of coordination environment, which contain two chlorine atoms in trans–position and a two amino groups of o–toluidine. Bond lengths and angles have normal values (Allen et al., 1987). The crystal structure displays week intermolecular N—H···Cl hydrogen bonding (Table 1) creating the layered structure (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

The 5 ml of 0.02 M chloroform o–toluidine solution was poured into the test–tube. The other reactant, 5 ml 0.01 M water solution of K2PdCl4 was carefully added on the top of the organic part. The sealed test–tube with double–layer mixture was put in a dark place. Two weeks later, the yellow plate shape crystals were grown in the chloroform part of the solution.

Refinement top

H atoms bonded to N atoms were located in a difference map. Other H atoms which bonded to C were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.98 Å for CH3 with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) and C—H = 0.95 Å for CH with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(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 > 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.
