Abstract
The title complex, [Pd(NO3)(C15H11N3)]NO3, comprises a cationic PdII complex and a nitrate anion. In the complex, the PdII cation is four-coordinated in a distorted square-planar coordination geometry defined by the three N atoms of the tridentate 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligand and one O atom from the NO3 - anion. In the crystal, the complex mol-ecules are stacked in columns along the a axis being connected by π-π stacking [closest inter-centroid separation between pyridyl rings = 3.878 (3) Å]. The connections between columns and anions to sustain a three-dimensional architecture are C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
