G. Steyl, L. Kirsten and A. Roodt

Abstract: The centrosymmetric title compound, [PdCl₂(C₁₉H₁₇P)₂], crystallizes with a square-planar geometry about the Pd^II metal centre. The most important bond distances include Pd-P (trans P) of 2.3404 (9) Å and Pd-Cl (trans Cl) of 2.2977 (12) Å. Weak intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding is observed in the solid-state structure between the chloro and phenyl H atoms. This weak intermolecular hydrogen-bonding pattern forms a one-dimensional chain along the b axis.
