cis-Diiodido(N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine-κ2N,N′)palladium(II)

Abstract

In the title complex,cis-[PdI2(C6H16N2)], the PdIIatom lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis and is four-coordinated by the two N atoms of a chelatingN,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine ligand [Pd—N = 2.125 (3) Å] and two I atoms [Pd—I = 2.5833 (4) Å], displaying a distorted square-planar geometry (r.m.s. deviation = 0.005 Å), imposed by the small bite of the chelating ligand [N—Pd—N angle = 84.68 (18)°].
