Bis[(diphenylphosphino)acetato-κ²O,P]palladium(II) dichloromethane solvate

Abstract

The title compound, [Pd(C14H12O2P)2]·CH2Cl2, consists of mononuclear [(Ph2PCH2COO)2Pd] complexes and dichloro­methane mol­ecules in a 1:1 molar ratio. The two (diphenyl­phosphino)acetate ligands are coordinated to the central Pd atom by their P and O atoms, forming five‐membered chelate rings. The PdII atom has a distorted square‐planar configuration [Pd—O = 2.076 (3) and 2.082 (3) Å, and Pd—P = 2.214 (1) and 2.216 (1) Å].
