The crystal structure of di(nitrato-O)(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline-N,N')palladium(II) dimethyl sulfoxide solvate, Pd(NO3)2(C24H16N2)>*C2H6OS, contains two unidentate O-bonded nitrato groups, and the bidentate4,7-dipheyl-1,10-phenanthroline molecule in almost square-planar coordination around the Pd atom.The phenanthroline ring system is non-planar, exhibiting a bow-shaped deformation likely originating from the metal coordination.The coordinated ligand, as a consequence, exhibits geometrical deformations compared with the free ligand molecule.The crystals have channels which host the disordered solvate molecules. the geometrical results are compared with those for related compounds.
