In the title compound, [Pd(C5H8NO4)2], the Pd(II) atom is coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms of two N,O-chelating hydrogen l-glutatmate ligands in a square–planar geometry with the N and O atoms in a mutually trans arrangement. The complex units are embedded in a network of N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions that stabilize the three-dimensional crystal structure. The strongest hydrogen bonds are formed between the γ-COOH untis of adjacent glutamate ligands, leading to dimers of the type R
2
2(8) with O⋯O separations of 2.640 (6) Å.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
