Bis(2,2′-bipyrimidine-κ(2) N (1),N (1′))palladium(II) bis­(tetra­fluoro­borate) acetonitrile monosolvate

The reaction of [Pd(MeCN)(4)](BF(4))(2) with 2,2′-bipyrimidine (bpm) in MeCN–CHCl(3) afforded the title compound, [Pd(C(8)H(6)N(4))(2)](BF(4))(2)·C(2)H(3)N. The asymmetric unit contains two half complexes, with the Pd(II) atoms both lying on a twofold axis. Each metal atom adopts a tetra­hedrally distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal, [Pd(bpm)(2)] dications are linked by C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to the b axis. The chains are further linked by C—H⋯F and C—H⋯N inter­actions involving the tetra­fluoro­borate anions and acetonitrile mol­ecules. In this way, each chain interacts with six surrounding chains to generate the observed three-dimensional structure.
