(2,2′-Bi­pyridine-κ2 N,N′)(4,4′-dimeth­oxy-2,2′-bipyridine-κ2 N,N′)palladium(II) bis­(tri­fluoro­meth­anesulfonate)

In the cation of the title complex, the central palladium(II) atom is surrounded by two bidentate ligands, 2,2′-bi­pyridine and 4,4′-dimeth­oxy-2,2′-bi­pyridine, in a distorted square-planar environment.

In the title complex salt, [Pd(C₁₀H₈N₂)(C₁₂H₁₂N₂O₂)](CF₃SO₃)₂, the palladium(II) atom is fourfold coordinated by two chelating ligands, 2,2′-bi­pyridine and 4,4′-dimeth­oxy-2,2′-bi­pyridine, in a distorted square-planar environment. In the crystal, weak π–π stacking inter­actions between the 2,2′-bi­pyridine rings [centroid-to-centroid distances = 3.8984 (19) Å] and between the 4,4′-dimeth­oxy-2,2′-bi­pyridine rings [centroid-to-centroid distances = 3.747 (18) Å] contribute to the alignment of the complex cations in columns parallel to the b-axis direction.
