In the title compound, [PdBr2(C18H12Cl3P)2], the PdII ion is situated on a centre of symmetry and is coordinated by two Br anions [Pd—Br = 2.4252 (2) Å] and two P-donor ligands [Pd—P = 2.3317 (6) Å] in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry [P—Pd—Br = 86.589 (15)°].

Supporting information


Comment top

The title compound, (I), is one of a few literature structures containing a Pd centre coordinated by to Br atoms and two P donor ligands in a trans configuration. Our research is aimed at expanding the number of known structures of the aforementioned type and to finally generalize on the crystallization mode, if any, of these complexes.

The molecule of (I) (Fig. 1), is centrosymmetric with pairs of equivalent P donor ligands trans to one another in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry [P—Pd—Br 86.589 (15)°].

The corresponding chloro complex (Kolosova et al., 1986) is iso-structural to (I) when comparing the geometrical parameters. The RMS error of 0.097 Å also indicate the iso-structurality of the two complexes (the title complex superimposed with the corresponding dichloro-palladium complex (Kolosova et al., 1986) including all the atoms except the hydrogen atoms).

Related literature top

The title compound is isostructural with the corresponding dichloro complex, trans-[PdCl2{P(p-ClPh)3}2], see: Kolosova et al. (1986).

Experimental top

The title complex was synthesized by the addition of 2.2 equivalents of tris(4-Cl-phenyl)-phosphine (21 mg, 0.059 mmol) to [Pd(COD)Br2] (10 mg, 0.026 mmol) in 10 ml of dichloromethane while stirring for 5 minutes. Slow evaporation of the solvent resulted in orange crystals suitable for X-Ray diffraction (yield 74%, 19 mg).

Refinement top

All H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
