摘要:
The palladium(II) centre in the title compound, [PdCl2 (C21H18 N2OS)], is coordinated to the pyridyl N atom and to the thiazolidinone S atom of the 5-benzyl-3-phenyl-2-(2-pyridyl)thiazolidin-4-one ligand, resulting in a five-membered chelate ring. Two cis-chloro ligands complete the square-planar coordination environment of the metal. Although the geometry at the Pd centre is essentially planar, the N-Pd-S bite angle of 85.20 (8)degrees causes deviations in the cis angles from the ideal value of 90degrees. Opposite enantiomers form one-dimensional chains in the cell via a short S...O intermolecular interaction.
