trans-Dichloridobis[tris(4-methoxyphenyl)phosphine]palladium(II) benzene monosolvate

C. van Blerk and C. W. Holzapfel

Abstract: The structure of the title compound, [PdCl₂(C₂₁H₂₁O₃P)₂]·C₆H₆, shows a square-planar geometry for the Pd^II atom within a Cl₂[P(PhOMe)₃]₂ ligand set. The crystal structure contains benzene as solvent. The Pd^II atom sits on a centre of inversion and therefore the asymmetric unit contains the Pd^II atom, one Cl atom, one tris(4-methoxyphenyl)phosphine ligand and one half of the benzene solvent molecule.
