Conclusion
The study presents the crystal structure of a palladium complex with a square-planar coordination geometry and two methanol molecules as solvate.
Supporting Evidence
- The palladium atom is located on a crystallographic inversion center.
- The structure includes two bidentate ligands coordinated in a trans fashion.
- The methanol molecules form hydrogen bonds with the complex.
Takeaway
Scientists studied a special metal compound that has a square shape and is mixed with some alcohol. They found out how it looks at a tiny level.
Methodology
The compound was prepared using a literature procedure, and its structure was analyzed using X-ray diffraction.
