Dipotassium tetra-kis-(thio-cyanato-κS)palladate(II)-(2,2'-bipyrimidine-κ(2)N(1),N(1'))bis-(thio-cyanato-κS)palladium(II) (1/2).

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, K(2)[Pd(NCS)(4)]·2[Pd(NCS)(2)(C(8)H(6)N(4))], contains two crystallographically independent half-mol-ecules of the anionic Pd(II) complex, two K(+) cations and two independent neutral Pd(II) complexes; an inversion centre is located at the centroid of each anionic complex. In the anionic complexes, each Pd(II) ion is four-coordinated in an almost regular square-planar environment by four S atoms from four SCN(-) anions, and the PdS(4) unit is exactly planar. In the neutral complexes, the Pd(II) ion has a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment defined by two pyrimidine N atoms derived from a chelating 2,2'-bipyrimidine ligand and two mutually cis S atoms from two SCN(-) anions. Both 2,2'-bipyrimidine ligands are almost planar [di
