Chloro(triphenylphosphine)(tropolonato)palladium(II)

G. Steyl

Abstract: The title compound, [Pd(C₇H₅O₂)Cl(C₁₈H₁₅P)], is a new type of -diketone palladium(II) complex containing a tertiary arylphosphine. It crystallizes with a distorted square-planar geometry about the palladium(II) metal centre. The most important bond distances and angles include Pd-O (trans P) = 2.0481 (12) Å, Pd-O (trans Cl) = 2.0016 (12) Å, Pd-P = 2.2268 (4) Å, Pd-Cl = 2.2770 (5) Å, O-Pd-O = 80.22 (5)° and O-C-C-O = 3.7 (2)°. A - stacking interaction is observed between neighbouring tropolonate groups, with an interplanar distance of 3.377 (6) Å.
