R. A. Howie and J. L. Wardell

Abstract: The structure of the title compound, trans-[PdCl(SC₆H₄NO₂-p)(PPh₃)₂]·0.5C₂H₄Cl₂, in which the 1,2-dichloroethane solvent molecule is subject to the operation of a crystallographic centre of symmetry coincident with the midpoint of the C-C bond, is described and compared with that of the closely analogous trans-[PdCl(SC₆H₄NO₂-o)(PPh₃)₂]·C₃H₆O {Cambridge Structural Database [Allen & Kennard (1993). Chem. Des. Autom. News, 8, 1, 31-37] refcode WOBFIC, previously described by Aupers, Ferguson, Glidewell, Low & Wardell [Acta Cryst. (2000), C56, 945-947]}. Aside from obvious differences, such as the number and nature of the solvent molecules and the position of the nitro substituent, there are further differences in the conformation and packing of the molecules.
