Synthesis and characterization of palladium(II) complexes [PdX2(p-diben)] (X = Cl, Br, I, N3, or NCO; p-diben = N,N′-bis(4-dimethylaminobenzylidene)ethane-1,2-diamine): crystal structure of [Pd(N3)2(p-diben)

Abstract

Five new complexes of general formula [PdX2(p-diben)], where p-diben = N,N′-bis(4-dimethylaminobenzylidene)ethane-1,2-diamine) (1) and X = Cl (2), Br (3), I (4), N3 (5), or CNO (6), were synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The crystal structure of compound (5) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 2–6 were characterized as N,N-chelated products. The crystal structure confirmed this formulation for [Pd(N3)2(p-diben)], besides showing the isomerism inversion of one of the C=N bonds, caused by Pd(II) coordination.
