(2,2'-Bipyrimidine-?(2)N(1),N(1'))diiodidopalladium(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title complex, [PdI(2)(C(8)H(6)N(4))], the Pd(II) ion is four-coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar environment defined by two pyrimidine N atoms derived from a chelating 2,2'-bipyrimidine (bpym) ligand and two mutually cis iodide anions. The nearly planar bpym ligand [maximum deviation = 0.053?(3)?Å] is slightly inclined to the least-squares plane of the PdI(2)N(2) unit [maximum deviation = 0.055?(2)?Å], making a dihedral angle of 3.9?(2)°. In the crystal, pairs of complex mol-ecules are assembled by inter-molecular C-H?N hydrogen bonds into dimers. Intra-molecular C-H?I hydrogen bonds are also observed.
