Question: A palladium complex formed from a solution containing bromide ion and pyridine, C5H5N (a good electron-pair donor), is found on elemental analysis to contain 37.6%

A palladium complex formed from a solution containing bromide ion and pyridine, C5H5N (a good electron-pair donor), is found on elemental analysis to contain 37.6% bromine, 28.3% carbon,6.60% nitrogen, 2.37% and hydrogen by mass. The compound is slightly soluble in several organic solvents; its solutions in water or alcohol do not conduct electricity. It is found experimentally to have a zero dipole moment.Write the chemical formula, and indicate its probable structure.
