Bis[3,3-dimethyl-2-(2-oxoethyl-idene)indolinyl-κN,O]palladium(II)
Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Pd(C(12)H(12)NO)(2)], consists of three crystallographically independent half-mol-ecules. Each Pd(II) atom lies on a center of inversion and is four-coordinated by two monoanionic forms of the amino-acryl-aldehyde in a square-planar geometry. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are connected through C-H⋯π and C-H⋯O inter-actions into a three-dimensional polymeric structure.
