A palladium(Ⅱ) complex, PdLCl2·PdCl4, L=4-bromo-2,6-bis(N,N-diethylaminomethylene)pyridine, was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray analysis. The complex crystallizes in monoclinic system with space group Cc, a=0.845 1(17) nm, b=1.836 5(4) nm, c=2.715 8(5) nm, β=93.99(3)°, V=4.204 8(15) nm3, Z=4, R1=0.037 7 and wR2=0.076 9. The coordination geometry of the Pd atom in the cation is a slightly distorted square planar, with one pyridyl N and two N atoms of the diethylamine ligand, together with one Cl atom. The dihedral angle between the square planar (N3PdCl) and the pyridyl ring is 10.3(4)°. CCDC: 623421.
A new cobalt Ⅲ complex, [CoL2(NCS)2]·2CH2Cl2, [L=4-(p-methylphenyl)-3,5-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole], was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray analysis. The complex crystallizes in monoclinic system with space group P21/ c, a=0.867 40(17), b=1.453 9(3), c=1.781 9(4) nm, 18(3)The cobalt atom is in a distorted octahedral environment with two bidentate chelating L ligands in the equatorial plane and t wo NCS-ions in the axial positions. CCDC: 251658.
