Abstract
The title compound, [PdCl 2{P(C 6H 11) 2(C 6H 5)} 2], forms a monomeric complex with a trans-square-planar geometry. The Pd-P bond lengths are 2.3343 (5) Å, as the Pd atom lies on an inversion centre, while the Pd-Cl bond lengths are 2.3017 (4) Å. The observed structure was found to be closely related to [PdCl 2{P(C 6H 11) 3} 2] [Grushin et al. (1994). Inorg. Chem. 33, 4804-4806], [PdBr 2{P(C 6H 11) 3} 2] [Clarke et al. (2003). Dalton Trans. pp. 4393-4394] and [PdCl 2P(C 6H 11) 2(C 7H 7)} 2] [Vuoti et al. (2008). Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. pp. 397-407] (C6H11 is cyclo-hexyl and C 7H 7 is o-tol-yl). One of the cyclo-hexyl rings is disordered with the phenyl ring in a 0.587 (9):413 (9) ratio. Five long-range C-H⋯Cl inter-actions were observed within the structure.
