Trans-Dichloridobis(quinoline-?N)palladium(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title complex, [PdCl(2)(C(9)H(7)N)(2)], the Pd(II) ion is four-coordinated in an essentially square-planar environment defined by two N atoms from two quinoline ligands and two Cl(-) anions. The Pd atom is located on an inversion centre, and thus the asymmetric unit contains one half of the complex; the PdN(2)Cl(2) unit is exactly planar. The dihedral angle between the PdN(2)Cl(2) unit and quinoline ligand is 85.63?(8)°. In the crystal, the complex mol-ecules are stacked into columns along the b axis. In the columns, several inter-molecular ?-? inter-actions between the six-membered rings are present, the shortest ring centroid-centroid distance being 3.764?(3)?Å between pyridine rings.
