trans-DICHLOROBIS( 1 -METHYLIMIDAZOLE)PALLADIUM (I I)unshared in the imidazole molecule. Since the electrons at N(3) are part of the aromatic sextet, the bonding of N(3) to a metal ion is disfavoured and although bonding of the imidazole ring to metal ions via C(2) has been reported recently (Sundberg, Brian, Taylor The molecules are held together solely by van der Waals forces. There are no significant intermolecular interactions; the packing diagram is shown in Fig. 2
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
