π-Stacking of μ-3,3′-bisacetylacetonato-bis[(2,2′-bipyridine)palladium(II)] hexafluorophosphate acetonitrile solvate

Abstract

In the title complex, [Pd2(C10H12O4)2(C10H8N2)2](PF6)2·CH3CN, the PdII centers have a distorted cis-square-planar geometry defined by an O,O′-bidentate bis­acetyl­acetonate dianion ligand and a chelating 2,2′-bipyridine ligand. The crystal structure is stabilized by electrostatic forces between the cations and anions, inter­molecular π–π stacking inter­actions between pairs of 2,2′-bipyridine rings, and weak inter­molecular hydrogen bonds involving hexa­fluoro­phosphate anions (C—H⋯F) and the solvent acetonitrile mol­ecules (C—H⋯N).
