In the title compound, [PdCl2(C10H8N2)]·CH2Cl2, the Pd2+ ion is four-coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar environment by two N atoms of the 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) ligand and two chloride ions. The compound displays intramolecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and pairs of complex molecules are connected by intermolecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. Intermolecular π–π interactions are present between the pyridine rings of the ligand, the shortest centroid–centroid distance being 4.096 (3) Å. As a result of the electronic nature of the chelate ring, it is possible to create π–π interactions to its symmetry-related counterpart [3.720 (2) Å] and also with a pyridine ring [3.570 (3) Å] of the bipy unit. The present structure is a redetermination of a previous structure [Vicente et al. (1997). Private communication (refcode PYCXMN02). CCDC, Cambridge, England]. In the new structure all H atoms were located in a difference Fourier synthesis. Their coordinates were refined freely, together with isotropic displacement parameters.

To a solution of Na2PdCl4 (0.300 g, 1.020 mmol) in EtOH (30 ml) was added 2,2'-bipyridine (0.159 g, 1.018 mmol) and stirred for 5 h at room temperature. The precipitate obtained was separated by filtration and washed with EtOH and water and dried under vacuum, to give a yellow powder (0.302 g). Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation from a CH2Cl2 solution.

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 asymmetric unit of the title compound, [PdCl2(C10H8N2)].CH2Cl2, contains a neutral PdII complex and a solvent molecule (Fig. 1). The compound crystallized in the triclinic space group P1, whereas the previously reported complex [PdCl2(C10H8N2)] crystallized in the orthorhombic space group C2221 (Maekawa et al., 1991). The X-ray structure analysis of the title compound was previously carried out (Vicente et al., 1997) and the structure is stored in CCDC code: RAGVUQ. The stored and our crystal structures are in agreement, however, the new structure determination provides data on hydrogen bonding based on H atoms positions located from a difference Fourier synthesis and refined isotropically.
In the complex, the Pd2+ ion is four-coordinated in a distorted square-planar environment by two N atoms of the 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) ligand and two Cl ions. The main contribution to the distortion is the tight N1—Pd1—N2 chelate angle (81.04 (16)°), which results in non-linear trans arrangement (<N1—Pd1—Cl1 = 175.78 (12)° and <N2—Pd1—Cl2 = 174.97 (12)°). The Pd1—N and Pd1—Cl bond lengths are almost equal (Pd1—N: 2.029 (4) and 2.025 (4) Å; Pd1—Cl 2.2964 (14) and 2.2853 (14) Å), respectively (Table 1), and close to those reported for [PdCl2(C10H8N2)] (Maekawa et al., 1991). The best least-squares plane of the atoms of the planar complex, except Cl2, reveals mean deviation of 0.026 (5) Å; deviation of Cl2 from this plane is 0.184 (2) Å. The compound displays the inter- and intramolecular C—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 2) and molecules are connected by intermolecular hydrogen bonds and stacked in layres along the c axis (Fig. 2). Intermolecular π-π interactions (defined by separation distance between the ring centroids (the symmetry operation for second plane 1-x,1-y,-z) involve the planes: Pd1,N1→ N2 and ity symmetry related counterpart, 3.720 (2) Å, planes are parallel and shifted for 1.506 Å; Pd1,N1→ N2 and N1→ C5, 3.570 (3) Å, the dihedral angle between planes is 1.54 °, no shift; N1→ C5 and N2→ C10, 4.096 (3) Å the dihedral angle between planes is 2.72 °, no shift.
