-diphenylphosphido-bis{chlorido[(mesitylmethyl)diphenylphosphine-
P]palladium(II)}In the title dinuclear palladium complex, [Pd2(C12H10P)2Cl2(C22H23P)2], the terminal ligands adopt a trans configuration with a Pd
Pd distance of 3.6111 (4) Å. A crystallographic twofold rotation axis runs perpendicular to the Pd2P2 ring. The Cl atom lies slightly out of the plane of the Pd and three P atoms in each half of the molecule.
The synthesis of [PdCl(µ2-PPh2){PPh2CH2(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)}]2 is identical to the synthesis of [PdCl(µ2-PPh2)(PPh3)]2 (Brandon & Dixon, 1981). The yellow product is purified by column chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane:acetone, 1:2).
1H NMR (CDCl3): 6.9–6.2 (m, 44H), 2.76 (m, 4H), 1.58 (s, 12H), 1.34 (m, 6H). 31P NMR (CDCl3): 7.5 and −142.6 p.p.m.. MS (ESI, m/z): 1291; [C68H66Cl2P4Pd2] Calcd. for C68H66Cl2P4Pd2: C, 63.27; H, 5.15 Found: C, 62.87; H, 5.02.
[PdCl(µ2-PPh2){PPh2CH2(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)}]2 is disolved in chloroform, and crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis are obtained by slow evaporation of the chloroform solution.
The H atoms were included in calculated positions and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 (1.5 for methyl groups) times Ueq(C).

Experimental. A crystal was mounted at 173 K on a Stoe Image Plate Diffraction System (Stoe, 2000) using Mo Kα graphite monochromated radiation. Image plate distance 70 mm, φ oscillation scans 0 − 200°, step Δφ = 1.0°, 3 minutes per frame. |
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The title compound, [PdCl(µ2-PPh2){PPh2CH2(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)}]2, (I), is prepared in a similar manner as the isoelectronic dinuclear palladium complex [PdCl(µ2-PPh2)(PPh3)]2 (Brandon & Dixon, 1981). The triphenylphosphine being replaced by (mesithylmethyl)(diphenyl)phosphine (Chahen et al., 2006). The 31P{1H} NMR spectrum gives rise to two multiplets centred at 7.5 and −142.6 p.p.m. respectively. The signals are consistent with an AA'BB' spin system (Brandon & Dixon, 1981). The molecular structure of (I) shows the palladium atoms to be surrounded by two phosphido-bridged ligands, a chloride, and a PPh2CH2(2,4,6-Me3C6H2) ligand. The complex adopts the trans-symmetrical isomer, see scheme.
The two halves of the dinuclear complex are related by a crystallography twofold rotation axis, see Fig. 1. The Pd atoms are in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The plane formed by the palladium, the chloride and the three P atoms is mainly planar, with a maximum deviation from the mean plane of 0.0770 (4)Å for one bridging P atom. However, the angle between the two square-planar units is 12.63 (1)°, giving rise to a slightly bent conformation for the dimeric unit, see Fig. 2. Otherwise, the bond distances and angles are similar to those found in [PtCl(µ2-PPh2)(HPPh2)]2 (Carty et al., 1982), [PdCl(µ2-PPh2)(HPPh2)]2 (Gebauer et al., 1992) and [PdI(µ2-PPh2)(HPPh2)]2 (Zhuravel et al., 2000).
