Dichlorido[1-(2,6-dimethylphenylimino)-1,2-diphenylpropan-2-ol-κ2N,O]palladium(II) methanol monosolvate

The title compound, [PdCl2(C23H23NO)]·CH3OH, was obtained by the reaction of 1-(2,6-dimethylphenylimino)-1,2-diphenylpropan-2-ol and palladium chloride in methanol. The Pd atom is four-coordinated by the O atom of a tertiary alcohol, the imine N atom of the hydroxylimine part of the bidentate ligand and by two chloride ions, forming a nearly square-planar geometry. The complex molecule and the uncoordinated methanol molecule are connected via an O—H...O hydrogen bond
