[eta(2)-(E)-But-2-enedinitrile](N,N'-di-phenyl-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]-heptane-2,3-diimine-N,N')-palladium(0).
The zero-valent palladium in [Pd(C(4)H(2)N(2))(C(22)H(24)N(2))] is coordinated to two imine N atoms of a derivatized camphor ligand, and to the olefinic C atoms of a pi-bonded fumaronitrile group. The N--Pd--N bite angle of 77.31 (9) degrees is similar to angles observed in other zero-valent palladium diiminoalkene species. The asymmetry of the camphor moiety leads to two different orientations of the N-aryl groups relative to the PdN(2) plane [C==N--C--C torsion angles of 102.4 (4) and 39.4 (4) degrees ].
