title: trans-Bis(benzylamine)dichloropalladium(II) bis(dimethyl sulfoxide) solvate
abstract: The title compound, [PdCl(2)(C(7)H(9)N)(2)].2C(2)H(6)OS, crystallizes with two molecules of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in monoclinic space group P2(1)/n. The Pd complex is centrosymmetric and thus the phenyl rings of the benzylamine ligands are exo with respect to one another. The crystal packing reveals NH.O and CH.Cl hydrogen bonds between the organometallic molecule and the DMSO molecules, resulting in infinite chains. The distances of the ortho-H atoms on the phenyl ring to the metal center are in the range 4.71-5.34 A, precluding any significant intramolecular Pd.H interactions.
