metal-organic compounds
The crystal structure of the title compound, trans-[(C6F5)3P]2PdCl2, was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Owing to the steric requirements of the bulky phosphane ligands, the centrosymmetric molecule shows a considerable angle distortion at the square-planar coordinated Pd atom [Cl-Pd-P 95.23 (4)°]. Pd-Cl and Pd-P distances are 2.291 (1) and 2.305 (1) Å, respectively. The metal-phosphorus distance is significantly shorter than in trans-dichlorobis(triphenylphosphane)palladium(II).
