Abstract
Abstract The reactions of palladium(II) chloride with 1,4 - diphenyl - 2,3 - dimethyl - 1,4 - diazabutadiene and 1,4 - di(p - methoxyphenyl) - 2,3 - dimethyl - 1,4 - diazabutadiene are described. With 1,4 - diphenyl - 2,3 - dimethyl - 1,4 - diazabutadiene diimine fission is produced, giving rise to a product identified by elemental analysis, IR and Raman spectra, and X-ray diffraction, as trans-dichlorobis(aniline) palladium(II). The complex is soluble in dimethylformamide and crystallizes with two molecules of solvent. The substance crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n. The X-ray data were refined to R = 0.047 and Rw = 0.046. Final distances are Pd N = 2.060(5)Aand Pd C1 = 2.299(2)A. There are two bifurcated intermolecular N H ... C1 and C H... C1 hydrogen bonds which, together with one more intermolecular hydrogen bond N H... O, are responsible for the packing of the molecules. However, when 1,4 - di(p - methoxyphenyl) - 2,3 - dimethyl - 1,4 - diazabutadiene was treated with palladium chloride under the same conditions cis - dichloro - 1,4 - di(p - methoxyphenyl) - 2,3 - dimethyl - 1,4 - diazabutadiene was formed, as deduced from elemental analysis, and IR and Raman spectra.
