title: Bis(hydrogen l-glutamato)palladium(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [Pd(C(5)H(8)NO(4))(2)], the Pd(II) atom is coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms of two N,O-chelating hydrogen l-glutatmate ligands in a square-planar geometry with the N and O atoms in a mutually trans arrangement. The complex units are embedded in a network of N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions that stabilize the three-dimensional crystal structure. The strongest hydrogen bonds are formed between the γ-COOH untis of adjacent glutamate ligands, leading to dimers of the type R(2) (2)(8) with O⋯O separations of 2.640 (6) Å.
