trans-Dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) dichloroethane solvate

G. Steyl

Abstract: In the title compound, [PdCl₂(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂]·C₂H₄Cl₂, the Pd-complex and dichloroethane solvent molecule both possess a crystallographicaly imposed centre of symmetry. A square planar geometry about the palladium(II) metal centre is observed, while the trans triphenylphosphine ligands are in an eclipsed conformation. The most important bond distances include Pd-P 2.3394 (13) Å and Pd-Cl 2.3255 (12) Å. No hydrogen bonding is observed in the crystal structure.
