The PdII ion in the title compound, [Pd(C17H14N3S2)2]·2C5H5N, is located on an inversion center and is four-coordinated by two of the deprotonated N,S-bidentate Schiff base ligands in a square-planar geometry. The dihedral angle between the aromatic ring planes within the ligand is 71.12 (9)°. The indole NH groups are bonded to the pyridine solvent molecules via an N—H⋯N interaction. The is consolidated by intermolecular C—H⋯S interactions.

The Schiff base ligand was prepared as reported previously (Khaledi et al., 2011). A solution of palladium(II) acetate (0.224 g, 1 mmol) in ethanol (30 ml) was added to an ethanolic solution (30 ml) of the ligand (0.65 g, 2 mmol) containing a few drops of triethylamine. The mixture was refluxed for an hour, then cooled to room temperature. The resulting brown solid was filtered, washed with cold ethanol and dried over siliga-gel. The crystals of the title compound were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution of the solid in pyridine.
The C-bound H atoms were placed at calculated positions (C–H 0.95–0.99 Å) and were treated as riding on their parent C atoms. The N-bound H atom was located in a difference Fourier map, and was refined with a distance restraint of N–H 0.88±0.02. For all H atoms, Uiso(H) was set to 1.2 Ueq(carrier atom).

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 crystal of the title compound was obtained from a pyridine solution of the PdII complex of indole-3-carbaldehyde S-benzyldithiocarbazone. Upon deprotonation, the Schiff base chelates the PdII ion in an N,S-bidentate bonding mode to form a five-membered ring with the metal center. The PdII ion, located on an inversion center, is four-coordinated by two of the Schiff base ligands in a square-planar geometry. The pyridine solvent molecules remain uncoordinated to the metal ion and are hydrogen bonded to indole NH groups. This is similar to what was observed in the structure of the analogous DMF solvate PdII complex (Khaledi & Mohd Ali, 2011). In contrast, the cadmium(II) complex of the Schiff base ligand in a pyridine solution gave an octahedral complex wherein two trans-pyridine molecules are coordinated to the metal center (Khaledi et al., 2011). In the present structure, the aromatic ring planes within the ligand make a dihedral angle of 71.12 (9)°. The pyridine solvent ring is nearly coplanar with the indole ring, the dihedral angle between them being 11.39 (19)°. The structure is further consolidated by intramolecular interactions of the types C—H···S and C—H···N (Table 1).
