The whole molecule of the title complex, [Pd(C15H21N2S2)2], is generated by twofold rotational symmetry. The palladium(II) atom exhibits a square-planar coordination geometry, and is located on the crystallographic twofold axis that induces a cis configuration of the N,S chelating ligands. In the crystal, molecules stack along the c-axis direction and there are no significant intermolecular interactions present. The structure was refined as an with a final BASF parameter of 0.34 (2).

A solution of PdCl2 (0.044 g, 0.25 mmol, 25 mL methanol) was added to a solution of the ligand, S-hexyl (E)-3-(4-methylbenzylidene)dithiocarbazate (0.147 g, 0.5 mmol, 10 mL methanol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. An orange red precipitate was formed, filtered off, washed with methanol and dried in vacuo over anhydrous CaCl2. Orange red single crystals, suitable for X-ray diffraction, of the compound were obtained by slow evaporation from a mixture of chloroform and acetonitrile (1:1) after 5 days (m.p.: 433 K).
Crystal data, data collection and structure θ angles. The collected data were cut at a resolution of 0.85 Å. The structure was refined as an with a final BASF parameter = 0.34 (2).
details are summarized in Table 1. All H atoms were fixed geometrically (C—H = 0.95 - 0.99 Å) and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) =1.2 Ueq(C). The rather high is affected by the small crystal dimensions and consequently by low diffraction at highData collection: RAPID-AUTO (Rigaku, 2010); cell

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 > 2σ(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. |

In the crystal of the title complex, Fig. 1, the PdII atom resides on a crystallographic twofold rotational axis and the two chelating Schiff base ligands, in their deprotonated imino thiolate form, coordinate the metal center via the azomithine nitrogen atom, N1 and thiolate sulfur atom, S1 in a cis-planar configuration (Fig. 1). However, the donor atoms are not coplanar as observed for the corresponding nickel derivative (Howlader et al., 2015b), but the square planar geometry presents a slight tetrahedral distortion with displacement of atoms N1 and S1 of ± 0.121 (14) and ∓ 0.134 (6) Å, respectively, from the coordination mean plane. The Pd1–S1 and Pd1—N1 coordination bond distances are of 2.264 (4) and 2.154 (12) Å, respectively, with an N1—Pd1—S1 chelating angle of 83.2 (3)°. These values are in agreement with those observed in similar Pd-bis(dithiocarbazato) complexes, either with a cis configuration (Ali et al., 2002; Liu, et al., 2011; Duan et al., 1998; Tampouris et al., 2007) or with a trans configuration (Khaledi et al., 2011; Tampouris et al., 2007; Tarafder et al., 2010). It is worth noting that the E conformation about the imine bond N1═C8 [= 1.207 (17) Å; torsion angle N2—N1—C8—C5 = 172.1 (14)°] is different to that observed in the nickel derivative mentioned above, viz.1.2 (7)°. This allows an approach between the rings of the methylbenzylidene moieties, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 4.114 (8) Å, indicating a very weak π-π interaction.
In the crystal, there are no significant intermolecular interactions present. The molecules pack along the c axis direction (Fig. 2).
