{2,6-Bis[(pyridin-2-yl)sulfanylmeth-yl]pyridine-κ(2) N,N'}(η(3)-prop-2-en-yl)palladium(II) hexa-fluoro-phosphate

The title compound, [Pd(C3H5)(C17H15N3S2)]PF6, is built up by a [(η(3)-all-yl)Pd](2+) fragment coordinated by a 2,6-bis-[(pyridin-2-yl)sulfanylmeth-yl]pyridine ligand coordinated through the N atoms. One of the S atoms is at a close distance to the metal centeratom [3.2930 (8) Å]. The Pd(II) atom is tetra-coordinated in a strongly distorted square-planar environment mainly determined by the η(3)-allyl anion in which the central C atom is disordered over two equally occupied positions. The crystal packing is very compact and is characterized by a three-dimensional network of C-H⋯F interactions between the F atoms of each anion and several H atoms of the surrounding cationic complexes.
