Conclusion
The study presents the crystal structure of a palladium complex that features N-heterocyclic carbenes and iodide ligands.
Supporting Evidence
- The palladium ion is located at an inversion center in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry.
- The Pd-carbene distance is 2.016 Å, which is longer than in a related complex.
Takeaway
Scientists made a special molecule with palladium and some other parts, and they figured out what it looks like using a special camera.
Methodology
The crystal structure was determined using X-ray diffraction techniques.
