Abstract:
The Pd(II) ion in the title complex, [PdCl(2)(C(14)H(10)N(4))], has a slightly distorted square-planar environment defined by the two pyridine N atoms of the chelating 2,3-di-2-pyridyl-pyrazine ligand and two chloride anions. The pyridine rings are considerably inclined to the least-squares plane of the PdCl(2)N(2) unit [maximum deviation = 0.073 (1) Å], with dihedral angles of 64.19 (9) and 66.55 (9)°. The pyrazine ring is almost perpendicular to this plane and the dihedral angle is 88.2 (1)°. Two independent inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, both involving the same Cl atom as a hydrogen-bond acceptor, give rise to chains running along the a and b axes, generating a layer structure extending parallel to (001). Mol-ecules are stacked in columns along the a axis. Along the b axis, successive mol-ecules stack in opposite directions.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
