Abstract

In the title compound, [Pd(C15H13FNO2)2], the PdII atom is tetracoordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from the two 2-[(4-fluorobenzyl)iminomethyl]-6-methoxyphenoxy ligands, forming a square-planar geometry. The two N atoms and the two O atoms around the PdII atom are trans to each other. The dihedral angle between the two fluoro-substituted benzene rings is 39.03 (6)°. The molecular structure is stabilized by an intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, weak intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions occur.

Highlights

In the title compound, [Pd(C15H13FNO2)2], the PdII atom is tetracoordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from the two
The molecular structure is stabilized by an intramolecular C—H O hydrogen bond
R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger
