Abstract: | The crystal and molecular structures of N‐benzoyl‐N′,N′‐dibutylselenourea (HL), C16H24N2OSe, and the corresponding complex bis(N‐benzoyl‐N′,N′‐dibutylselenoureato‐κ2Se,O)palladium(II), Pd(C16H23N2OSe)2], are reported. The selenourea molecule is characterized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the selenoamidic H atom and the Se atom of a neighbouring molecule forming a dimer, presumably as a consequence of resonance‐assisted hydrogen bonding or π‐bonding co‐operativity. A second dimeric hydrogen bond is also described. In the palladium complex, the typical square‐planar coordination characteristic of such ligands results in a cis‐Pd(L‐Se,O)2] complex. |
