trans-Bis[bis(2-methoxyphenyl)phenylphosphine-P]dichloridopalladium(II)

C. van Blerk and C. W. Holzapfel

Abstract: The structure of the title compound, [PdCl₂(C₂₀H₁₉O₂P)₂], shows a square-planar geometry for the Pd^II ion within a Cl₂Pd[PPh(PhOMe)₂]₂ ligand set. The Pd^II atom sits on an inversion centre and therefore the asymmetric unit contains the Pd^II atom, one Cl atom and one bis(2-methoxyphenyl)phenylphosphine ligand. The trans arrangement of ligands is also imposed by symmetry.
