The Structure of [PdC12{(Py)2(PyH)CH-N',N }][PdCl4]0.5.2H20 (Py = Pyridin-2-yl)a Complex with Protonated 22'2 "-Methylidynetrispyridine as a Bidentate Ligand"
Crystals of dichloro[2,2',2 -methylidynetris(pyridin)-1- ium- N'N "]palladium(II) hemi[tetrachloropalladate(II)] dihydrate are monoclinic P21/c a 8.558(5) b 15.516(7) c 16.153(5) a beta 112.07(4) Z 4. The cations [PdCl2 {(Py)2(PyH)CH-N'N ")]+ have square-planar geometry for palladium with the ligand in a boat conformation and having an uncoordinated protonated pyridine group. The complex contains monoprotonated tris(pyridin-2-yl)methane as a bidentate ligand."
