Dichlorido[2-(phenyliminomethyl)quinoline-N,N′]palladium(II)

Abstract

Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 173 K; mean (C-C) = 0.004 Å; R factor = 0.030; wR factor = 0.063; data-to-parameter ratio = 17.9.In the title complex, [PdCl 2 (C 16 H 12 N 2 )], the Pd II ion is coordinated by two N atoms [Pd-N 2.039 (2), 2.073 (2) Å ] from a bidentate ligand and two chloride anions [Pd-Cl 2.2655 (7), 2.2991 (7) Å ] in a distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal, -interactions between the sixmembered rings of the quinoline fragments [centroid-centroid distances = 3.815 (5), 3.824 (5) Å ] link two molecules into centrosymmetric dimers.

“…The bond angles around the Pd metal atom of Cl2-Pd1-Cl1 [92.34 (2)°]and N2-Pd1-N1 [81.73 7°] show significant deviations from 90°, which confirms the distortion in the square planar geometry. The angles agree with those of similar compounds Motswainyana et al, 2012).…”

“…The yellow solution was refluxed for 4 hrs, resulting in the formation of yellow precipitate. The precipitate was filtered and washed with Et2 O (2 x 10 ml) to obtain a pure yellow solid which formed single crystals suitable for X-ray crystallography when it was recrystallized from a mixture of CH2 Cl2 :C6H14 solution [11].
