trans -Dichloridobis[( S )-(−)-1-(4-methylphenyl)ethylamine-κ N ]palladium(II)

The title complex, [PdCl 2 (C 9 H 13 N) 2 ], comprises a single molecule in the asymmetric unit. The Pd II atom is tetracoordinated by two N atoms from two trans -aligned organic ligands and two Cl ligands, forming a square-planar metal coordination environment. The distances from the ortho -H atoms on the phenyl ring to the central Pd II atom fall within the range 4.70–5.30 Å, precluding any significant intramolecular Pd...H interactions.
