In the title compound, [PdCl2{1,2-C6H4(SePh)2}], the two Cl atoms and the two Se atoms are arranged in a square-planar fashion around the Pd atom. The two phenyl groups are on the same side of the PdCl2Se2 plane. Intermolecular interactions between the Cl and Se atoms are suggested [Se
Cl = 3.4003 (4) and 3.4101 (4) Å].
Sodium tetrachloropalladate (93.8 mg, 0.319 mmol) was added to a solution of 1,2-bis(phenylseleno)benzene, 1,2-C6H4(SePh)2, (100 mg, 0.258 mmol) (Gujadhur & Venkataraman, 2003; Nakanishi & Hayashi, 2000; Gulliver et al., 1984; Petragnari & Toscano, 1970) in chloroform (3 ml)/ethanol (20 ml) at room temperature. After stirring for 3 h, the mixture was filtered. The precipitates were washed with ethanol (5 ml × 3) and then extracted with dichloromethane(300 ml) and chloroform (300 ml). After filtration of the mixture, evaporation of the filtrate gave the title compound, [PdCl2{1,2-C6H4(SePh)2}] (1) (138.7 mg, 0.245 mmol, 95%). Further purification by recrystallization from chloroform/ethanol provided analytically pure (1) (m.p. 270 °C, decomposition. Analysis found: C 38.08, H 2.65%; C18H14Cl2PdSe2 requires: C 38.23, H 2.50%). Suitable crystals for X-ray crystallography were obtained by slow evaporation of a dichloromethane/chloroform solution.
All H atoms were refined isotropically, while all the other atoms were refined anisotropically.

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 > 2sigma(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. |

There are no reports on the synthesis of the title compound, [PdCl2{1,2-C6H4(SePh)2}] (1), although the synthesis and full characterization of the sulfur analog, [PdCl2{1,2-C6H4(SPh)2}] (2), has already been reported (Hartley et al., 1979; Takeda et al., 2005). This paper presents the first synthesis and X-ray structural analysis of (1).
Compound (1) was prepared by a method similar to that for the sulfur analog (2) (Takeda et al., 2005), i.e., the reaction of the ligand, 1,2-bis(phenylseleno)benzene with NaPdCl4. The X-ray structural analysis of (1) shows features similar to those of (2) (Takeda et al., 2005), e.g., a square planar arrangement of the two chlorine and two chalcogen atoms around the palladium center, and a conformation where the two terminal phenyl groups of the diselenoether ligand are on the same side of the PdCl2Ch2 plane (Fig. 1). The Pd—Cl bond lengths (Pd1—Cl1 2.3471 (4) and Pd1—Cl2 2.3282 (4) Å) are slightly longer than those of (2) (Pd1—Cl1 2.3159 (6) and Pd1—Cl2 2.3116 (5) Å), although these values are within the range of the reported values for tetracoordinate palladium(II) complexes (2.298–2.354 Å) (Orpen et al., 1989). This result suggests that the coordination of the Se atoms to the Pd center in (1) is slightly stronger than that of the S atoms in (2). The Pd—Se bond lengths (Pd1—Se1 2.38098 (19) and Pd1—Se2 2.3790 (2) Å) are similar to those of the reported cis-dichloropalladium(II) complexes with selenoether (2.36–2.40 Å) (Booth et al., 1997; Champness et al., 1995; Whitfield, 1970).
Intermolecular Se—Cl distances (Se1—Cl2 3.4003 (4) and Se2—Cl1 3.4101 (4) Å) are slightly shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of chlorine and selinium (3.65 Å) (Bondi, 1964) (Fig. 2). This result suggests there is an intermolecular interaction between the chlorine and selenium atoms as well as between the chlorine and sulfur observed in (2). In addition, there are intermolecular C9—H7—Cl1 (2.94 (2) Å) and C10—H8—Cl2 (3.11 (2) Å) distances, although it is thought that these are weaker than the corresponding interactions in (2).
