Dibromido[N-(1-diethylamino-1-oxo-3-phenylpropan-2-yl)-N′-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazol-2-ylidene]palladium(II) dichloromethane monosolvate

2019

In the molecule of the title N,N′-disubstituted imidazol-2-ylidene palladium(II) complex, [PdBr2(C21H24N4O)]·CH2Cl2, the palladium(II) atom adopts a slightly distorted square-planar coordination (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0145 Å), and the five-membered chelate ring is almost planar [maximum displacement = 0.015 (8) Å]. The molecular conformation is enforced by intramolecular C—H...Br hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, complex molecules and dichloromethane molecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by C—H...O and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds.
