Description
Summary:In the title compound, (C20H17N2)2[Pd2Cl6]·2C6H6, the dichloride-bridged [Pd2Cl6]2− anion lies across an inversion center with each PdII ion in a slightly distorted square-planar environment. In the crystal structure, two cations and an anion are connected via N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds between the NH groups of the iminioisoindoline cations and terminal Cl atoms of a hexachloridodipalladate(II) anion. The Pd—Cl distance of the terminal chloride engaged in hydrogen bonding is slightly longer than the Pd—Cl distance of the adjacent terminal chloride which is not involved in hydrogen bonding.
