Crystal structure of (μ-N,N′-di­benzyl­dithio­oxamidato-κN,S:N′,S′)bis­[(η(3)-crotyl)palladium(II)]

In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title compound, [Pd(2)(C(4)H(7))(2)(C(16)H(14)N(2)S(2))], the metal atom is η(3)-coordinated by three C atoms of a crotyl ligand [Pd—C = 2.147 (4), 2.079 (5) and 2.098 (5) Å], the longest distance influenced by the steric inter­action with the benzyl substituents of the di­benzyl­dithio­oximidate (DTO) ligand. The Pd—N and Pd—S bonds to this ligand are 2.080 (3) and 2.3148 (9) Å, respectively, completing a square-planar coordination environment for Pd(II). The benzyl groups are oriented so as to maximize the inter­action between a benzylic H atom and an S atom, resulting in a dihedral angle of 77.1 (2)° between the benzene rings and the metal complex plane. In the crystal, no inter-complex hydrogen-bonding inter­actions are present.
