The crystal structures of [Pd(μ‐OH)(C∧N)] 2 [C∧N = phpy = 2‐(2‐pyridyl)phenyl ( 1 ), C∧N = bzq = 7,8‐benzoquinolin‐10‐yl ( 2 )] have been elucidated by ab initio X‐ray powder diffraction methodology with monochromatic Cu‐ K α 1 radiation. The crystal structures have been refined by the Rietveld method. Both complexes exhibit a planar conformation in the solid state (which is the most frequent for this type of compounds as found in the Cambridge Structural Database). In compound 1 , three molecules are stacked in an overlappingparallel orientation. DFT calculations reveal that hydrogen bonds and Pd ··· Pd interactions are the reasons for the stability of this “trimer”. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008)
