title: trans-Bis[1-(2-anilino-2-oxoeth-yl)-3-benzyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl]palladium(II) methanol disolvate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Pd(C(18)H(16)N(3)O)(2)]·2CH(3)OH, the Pd(II) atom is located on a crystallographic inversion center. It has a square-planar coordination geometry, with the two bidentate ligands coordinated in a trans fashion via the carbene C atom and the amido N atoms. The methanol solvent mol-ecules form O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the complex. Additional non-classical inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complexes into a two-dimensional network parallel to (001).
