Two new palladium complexes derived from the di(2-pyridinyl)methanone N-(2-pyridinyl)hydrazone (DPMNPH) ligand are reported. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic studies, and, for the DPMNPH ligand, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The DPMNPH ligand crystallized as orthorhombic with the space group P21212. The H1 atom isintramolecularly bonded to the pyridinic N4 with N1–H1 = 0.92(3) A , H1...N4=1.87(2) A˚,N1N4 = 2.615(2) A˚1, and N1–H1N4 = 137(2). Both complexes were excellent catalysts in the Heck reaction in the presence of base.
