Bis[2,3-bis(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-κ2 N 2,N 3]palladium(II) dinitrate acetonitrile monosolvate

Abstract

The title compound, [Pd(C14H10N4)2](NO3)2·CH3CN, consists of a cationic PdII complex, two anions and one lattice solvent molecule, all in general positions. In the complex, the PdII cation is four-coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry defined by the four N atoms of two bidentate 2,3-di-2-pyridylpyrazine ligands. The complex, anions and solvent molecule are linked by weak C—H...O intermolecular hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, the complex molecules are stacked in columns along the a axis.
