Abstract:
The title compound, [Pd(C14H12NO)2], contains an N,O-bidentate ligand and features a square-planar PdII atom coordinated to two chelating ligands. Each ligand binds through one nitro-gen atom and one oxygen donor atom, forming two six-membered chelate rings. The PdII atom lies essentially within the coordination plane, with the trans arrangement of the donor atoms giving rise to the square-planar geometry. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked through weak C-H⋯π inter-actions, which direct the mol-ecular packing. To gain further insights into the inter-molecular contacts, a Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
