title: {2,2'-[(2,2-Dimethyl-propane-1,3-di-yl)bis-(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato}palladium(II) ethanol hemisolvate.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Pd(C(19)H(20)N(2)O(2))]·0.5C(2)H(5)OH, contains two mol-ecules of a Pd(II) complex of a Schiff base ligand with an N(2)O(2) donor set and one ethanol mol-ecule. The Pd(II) centers are in distorted square-planar geometries with the N(2)O(2) donor atoms of the tetra-dentate Schiff base dianions. The ethanol mol-ecule takes part in an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are stacked approximately along the b-axis direction. The O atom and three H atoms of the solvent molecule are disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are ca 0.8 and 0.2.
