Di­chlorido­(4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bi­pyridine-κ(2) N,N′)palladium(II) dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate monohydrate

The title compound, [PdCl(2)(C(18)H(24)N(2))]·(CH(3))(2)SO·H(2)O, the Pd(II) ion is in a distorted square-planar geometry. The Pd—N bond distances are 2.022 (2) and 2.027 (2) Å, the Pd—Cl bond distances are 2.2880 (7) and 2.2833 (7) Å, and the ligand bite angle is 80.07 (9)°. The dimethyl sulfoxide and water mol­ecules form linear chains along [100] by O—H⋯O and O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, generating eight- and 12-membered rings. C—H⋯Cl inter­actions link the chains, forming a three-dimensional arrangement. In addition, the 4,4-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bi­pyridine ligand exhibits π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.8741 (15) and 3.8353 (15) Å]. The DMSO solvent is disordered and was refined with an occupancy ratio of 0.866 (3):0.134 (3).
