trans-Dichloridobis{[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]diphenylphosphane}palladium(II)

Abstract

The title compound, trans-[PdCl2{PPh2(4-Me2NC6H4)}2], crystallizes with the Pd atom on a center of symmetry, resulting in a distorted trans-PdCl2P2 square-planar geometry. The Pd—P and Pd—Cl bond lengths are 2.3550 (7) and 2.2906 (7) Å, respectively. Some weak inter­actions are observed between the aromatic rings of adjacent mol­ecules, with an inter­planar distance between two π-stacked rings of 3.505 (3) Å. Intra- and intermolecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds also occur.
