Abstract: The title compound, [Pd(C₁₈H₁₄PS)₂], was synthesized by the reaction of (Ph₂PC₆H₄SH) with [PdCl₂(NCC₆H₅)₂] in a 2:1 molar ratio in the presence of a slight excess of NEt₃ as base in dichloromethane. The compound crystallizes with the Pd(II) atom on a twofold rotation axis. The palladium center has a slightly distorted square-planar environment, with the two P-S chelating ligands adopting a cis configuration. The present structure is a pseudo-polymorph of [Pd(C₁₈H₁₄PS)₂]·CH₂Cl₂.
