Di-μ-chlorido-bis-({9-[(2,6-diisopropyl-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]anthracen-1-yl}palladium(II)).

The centrosymmetric title compound, [Pd(2)Cl(2)(C(27)H(26)N)(2)], was obtained by a C-H bond-activation reaction of a Schiff base ligand with Li(2)PdCl(4) in methanol, and was crystallized from dichloro-methane as orange crystals. The Pd atom displays a slightly distorted square-planar geometry, with the N- and C-atom donors in a cis arrangement.
