Trans-Dichloridobis[(pyridin-4-yl)boronic acid-κN]palladium(II) dimethyl sulfoxide disolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [PdCl2(C5H6BNO 2)2]2C2H6OS, the PdII ion is located on an inversion centre and is fourcoordinated in a trans square-planar geometry by two chloride ions and two (pyridin-4-yl)boronic acid ligands. The Pd-N and Pd-Cl distances are 2.023 (2) and 2.2977 (7) Å , respectively, and the average N-Pd-Cl angle is 90°. The dimethyl sulfoxide solvent molecules play a key role in the crystal structure by bridging the complex molecules via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming tapes running along the b axis. C-H⋯O interactions also contribute to the cohesion of the crystal.
