Bis(O-ethyl dithiocarbonato-kappa2S,S')palladium(II).
The Pd atom in the title compound, [Pd(C(3)H(5)OS(2))(2)], lies on an inversion center and adopts a square-planar coordination geometry defined by the four S atoms of the two dithiocarbonate (xanthate) ligands. In the solid state, the molecules aggregate into layers in which the rows of molecules alternate their orientation to allow each Pd atom to interact with two symmetry-equivalent S atoms of the xanthate ligands of adjacent molecules, generating a pseudo-octahedral environment around each Pd atom. This weak interaction of 3.3579 (7) A can be classified as a closed-shell electrostatic intermolecular interaction.
