Abstract

The presumably “small molecule structure” of the organopalladium complex rac-PdCl(C6H3-4-OMe-CHMeNH2)(py) crystallizes with 16 molecules in the asymmetric unit, a highly unusual situation according to the CSD database. The symmetrically independent residues differ with respect to soft conformational degrees of freedom. Packing in the acetonitrile solvate of the same compound is unexceptional.
