cis-Bis[1-allyl-3-(2-pyridyl-κN)thioureato-κS]palladium(II)

Yellow plate-like shaped crystals of the title compound, [Pd(C9H10N3S)2], were obtained by ligand-exchange reaction between palladium(II) acetylacetonate and the corresponding organic reagent at room temperature. The PdII atom shows a slightly distorted square-planar coordination geometry consisting of two ligand molecules in a cis conformation that bind in their thiolic tautomeric form. Weak intermolecular Pd...H interactions with Pd—H distances of 3.328 (2) were observed in the crystal structure. The three-dimensional network of the crystal structure is realized by weak intermolecular C—H...N, N—H...N and C—H...S hydrogen bonds.
