title: trans-Diiodidobis(2-phenyl-pyridine-κN)palladium(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [PdI(2)(C(11)H(9)N)(2)], the Pd(II) ion has a distorted trans-I(2)N(2) square-planar coordination geometry defined by two N atoms from two 2-phenyl-pyridine ligands and two I(-) anions. The 2-phenyl-pyridine ligands are not planar, the dihedral angles between the pyridine and benzene rings being 50.1 (2) and 45.7 (2)°. An inter-molecular π-π inter-action between the six-membered rings is present, the ring centroid-centroid distance being 3.898 (4) Å.
