Crystal structure of trans-dichloridobis[N-(5,5-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrrol-2-yl-κN)acetamide]palladium(II) dihydrate

Abstract

The title complex, [PdCl2(C8H14N2O)2]·2H2O, was obtained by N-O bond cleavage of the oxadiazoline rings of the trans-[dichlorido-bis(2,5,5-trimethyl-5,6,7,7a-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-b][1,2,4]oxadiazole-N1)]palladium(II) complex. The palladium(II) atom exhibits an almost square-planar coordination provided by two trans-arranged chloride anions and a nitrogen atom from each of the two neutral organic ligands. In the crystal, N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link complex molecules into double layers parallel to the bc plane.
