cis-Dichloridobis(2-isocyanophenyl 4-methoxybenzoate)palladium(II) chloroform monosolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [PdCl2(C15H11NO3)2]·CHCl3, the PdII atom adopts a slightly distorted square-planar coordination geometry composed of two Cl atoms in cis positions and two C atoms from isocyano­phenyl ligands. The mol­ecular conformation is stabilized by [pi]-[pi] stacking inter­actions [shortest centroid-centroid distance = 3.600 (1) Å] between substituted benzene rings of different ligands. The crystal packing is characterized by C-H...O and C-H...Cl inter­actions involving the chloro­form solvent mol­ecules.
