( S )-(+)-1-(4-Bromo-phen-yl)- N -[(4-methoxyphen-yl)methyl-idene]ethyl-amine and bis-{( S )-(+)-1-(4-bromo-phen-yl)- N -[(4-methoxyphen-yl)methyl-idene]ethyl-amine-κ N }di-chlorido-palladium(II)

The ( )-(+)-1-(4-bromo-phen-yl)- -[(4-methoxyphen-yl)methyl-idene]ethyl-amine ligand, C H BrNO, (I), was synthesized through the reaction of 4-meth-oxy-anisaldehyde with ( )-(-)-1-(4-bromo-phen-yl)ethyl-amine. It crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group 2 2 2 belonging to the Sohncke group, featuring a single mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The refinement converged successfully, achieving an factor of 0.0508. The Pd com-plex bis-{( )-(+)-1-(4-bromo-phen-yl)- -[(4-methoxyphen-yl)methyl-idene]ethyl-amine-κ }di-chlorido-pal-ladium(II), [PdCl (C H BrNO) ], (II), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group 2 belonging to the Sohncke group, with two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The central atom is tetra-coordinated by two N atoms and two Cl atoms, resulting in a square-planar configuration. The imine moieties exhibit a configuration around the Pd centre, with average Cl-Pd-N angles of approximately 89.95 and 90°. The average distances within the palladium com-plex for the two mol-ecules are ∼2.031 Å for Pd-N and ∼2.309 Å for Pd-Cl.
