()-(+)-1-(4-Bromo-phen-yl)--[(4-methoxyphen-yl)methyl-idene]ethyl-amine and bis-{()-(+)-1-(4-bromo-phen-yl)--[(4-methoxyphen-yl)methyl-idene]ethyl-amine-κ}di-chlorido-palladium(II).

The ()-(+)-1-(4-bromo-phen-yl)--[(4-methoxyphen-yl)methyl-idene]ethyl-amine ligand, CHBrNO, (I), was synthesized through the reaction of 4-meth-oxy-anisaldehyde with ()-(-)-1-(4-bromo-phen-yl)ethyl-amine. It crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group 222 belonging to the Sohncke group, featuring a single mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The refinement converged successfully, achieving an factor of 0.

X-ray structure analysis of symmetrically substituted 1,1'-diformyl-ruthenocene.

1,1'-Di-formyl-ruthenocene, [Ru(CHO)], crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic system in the 222 space group at room temperature. There are two crystallographically independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The cyclo-penta-dienyl rings have eclipsed configuration.
