trans-Dichlorobis[diphenyl(p-tolyl)phosphine]palladium(II)

Abstract

The centrosymmetric title compound, [PdCl2(C19H17P)2], crystallizes with a square-planar geometry about the PdII metal centre. The most important bond distances include Pd—P (trans P) of 2.3404 (9) Å and Pd—Cl (trans Cl) of 2.2977 (12) Å. Weak intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding is observed in the solid-state structure between the chloro and phenyl H atoms. This weak intermolecular hydrogen-bonding pattern forms a one-dimensional chain along the b axis.

“…The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig.1. The mononuclear complex is centrosymmetric, with (Ferguson et al, 1982;Meij et al, 2003;Steyl et al, 2006;Bedford et al, 2003). (Schultz et al, 1992).…”

“…For the isostructural compound, trans-[PdCl 2 {P((Ph) 2 (p-Tol))} 2 ], in which the Pd centers are coordinated by Cl anions instead of Br, see: Steyl et al (2006). = 60.312 (2) V = 824.54 (6) Å 3 Z = 1 Mo K radiation = 3.11 mm À1 T = 100 K 0.33 Â 0.11 Â 0.09 mm…”

“…The corresponding chloro complex (Steyl et al, 2006) is iso-structural to the title complex when comparing the geometrical parameters as well as the crystallization mode. The RMS error of 0.061 Å also indicate the iso-structurality of the two complexes (the title complex superimposed with the corresponding dichloro-palladium complex (Steyl et al, 2006) including the Pd, Cl(Br), P and first C atoms of the phenyl rings).…”
