Steric effects in a distorted square planar bis-(2,2′-bipyridyl) metal complex: X-ray crystal structure of aquobis-(2,2′-bipyridyl)palladium(II) nitrate
Abstract
The nature and magnitude of distortions induced by steric effects in a M(bipy)22+ cation have been elucidated by a single crystal X-ray structural determination of [Pd(bipy)2](NO3)2H2O.
