Abstract:
The title imino–phosphine compound, [PdCl2(C26H22NP)] -
CH3CN, was prepared by reaction of N-[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)
benzylidene]-2-methylaniline with dichlorido(cycloocta-
1,5-diene)palladium(II) in dry CH2Cl2. The PdII cation
is coordinated by the P and N atoms of the bidentate chelating
ligand and by two chloride anions, generating a distorted
square-planar coordination geometry. There is a detectable
trans influence for the chloride ligands. The methyl group
present in this structure has an influence on the crystal
packing.

Abstract:
The title complex, [PdCl2(C20H20N2)] CH3CN, was synthesized
by the reaction of 2-[(2,6-diethylphenyl)iminomethyl]quinoline
with dichlorido(cycloocta-1,5-diene)palladium(II) in dry
CH2Cl2. The PdII ion is coordinated by two N atoms of the
bidentate quinoline ligand and by two chloride anions,
generating a distorted square-planar coordination geometry
around the metal centre. There is a detectable trans influence
for the chloride ligands. The crystal packing is characterized
by – stacking between the quinoline rings. The use of
acetonitrile as the crystallization solvent was essential for
obtaining good-quality crystals.
