Dichlorido{N-[(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)methylidene]-2-(pyridin-2-yl) ethanamine-κ2 N,N′}palladium(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [PdCl2(C13H14N2S)], the PdII ion is coordinated by two N atoms of the chelating bidentate ligand and two chloride anions, giving rise to a distorted square-planar geometry. The methyl-substituted thiophene arm and the pyridine ring are connected to the metal cation through N atoms to form a six-membered chelate ring with a boat conformation, making the complex stable.
