In the title compound, [Pd(C18H16N3O)2]·2CH3OH, the PdII 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—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the complex. Additional non-classical intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complexes into a two-dimensional network parallel to (001).
Related literature
Palladium complexes with multidentate ligands containing N-heterocyclic carbene and anionic amidate functionalities attract interest because of their effectiveness in catalysing C—C coupling reactions, see: Liao et al. (2007); Sakaguchi et al. (2008).

The title compound was prepared according to the literature procedure (Liao et al., 2007). Colorless crystals suitable for X-ray
were grown by slow evaporation of a methanol solution containing the compound.All the H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with Caryl—H = 0.95, Cmethylene —H = 0.99, and Cmethyl —H = 0.98 Å while Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(Cmethine), Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(Cmethylene), and Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq (Cmethyl). H1 bound to oxygen was found in the difference Fourier map, not refined and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O).

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. |

Palladium complexes with multidentate ligands containing N-heterocyclic carbene and anionic amidate functionalities attract interest because of their effectiveness in catalyzing C—C coupling reactions (Liao et al., 2007 and Sakaguchi et al., 2008). The crystal structure of the title compound consists of such palladium carbene complex with two solvated methanol molecules incorporated. The structure of a DMSO solvate of the same trans compound, C36H32N6O2Pd.4C2H6SO, was reported by us previously (Liao et al., 2007)
The palladium atom adopts square coordination geometry with two trans coordinated bidentate ligands. The structure of the cis isomer, C36H32N6O2Pd.2CH3OH, was also reported earlier (Liao et al., 2007). A comparison of the geometric parameters of the trans and cis isomers shows that the Pd—C bond distance in the trans isomer is longer than that in the cis isomer [2.014 (2) vs. 1.966 (2) Å]. Contrastingly, the Pd—N bond distance is shorter in the trans isomer [2.051 (2) vs. 2.087 (1) Å].
