An organopalladium(II) compound including enolate oxy­gen‐ and sp3‐carbon‐bound 1,3‐di­methyl­barbiturate ligands: (1,2‐di­amino­ethane)­bis(1,3‐di­methyl­barbiturato)­palladium(II) 5.5‐hydrate

In the title compound, Pd(C₆H₇N₂O₃)₂(C₂H₈N₂)]·5.5H₂O, the Pd atom is coordinated by two 1,3‐di­methyl­barbiturate anions through a deprotonated tetrahedral carbon and the enolate oxy­gen. The Pd—N bond length of 2.078 (2) Åtrans to the C atom is shorter than the Pt—N distance of 2.098 (3) Å in the Pt analog.
