“…Both palladium atoms have geometries close to square planar: the sum of the angles at Pd 1 is 359.95°and the sum of the angles at Pd 2 359.5°T he two planes are almost parallel and the two palladium atoms are located one above the other: the angles L-Pd 1 -Pd 2 are in the range 84.93(3)-95.67(4)°and the angles LPd 2 -Pd 1 in the range 87.8(1)-95.35(3)°. At 3.1787(5) Å , the distance between the two palladium atoms is too long for a genuine bond, but, obviously, a significant coulombic interaction does exist (Pd-Pd bonds as long as 2.93 Å have been recorded in the literature [6]). Quite expectedly, the longest Pd-Cl bond is trans to P 1 (2.366(1) Å ), and the shortest trans to N 2 (2.292(1) Å ).…”
