The structure of the title compound, [PdCl 2 (C 10 H 10 N 2 ) 2 ], has the palladium center situated on a center of inversion. The imidazole group is twisted from the square coordination plane with a C-N-Pd-Cl torsion angle of 31.93 (12) ; this is different from the angle reported in closely related

✦ Synopsis
In the title centrosymmetric complex, trans-[PtCl 2 (C 6 H 10 N 2 ) 2 ], the Pt II centre is coordinated by two piperidine-1-carbonitrile ligands and two chloro ligands, resulting in a typical squareplanar geometry. The C-N distance between the nitrile and piperidine group [1.306 (4) A ˚] clearly indicates that this bond is not a pure single bond, being closer to a C N double bond. This points to a noticeable contribution of the bipolar structure [Pt]-N À C N + R 2 in the resonance hybrid of the push-pull nitrile ligand.
