Di-[mu]-chlorido-bis{chlorido[tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl)phosphane-
[kappa]P]palladium(II)} dichloromethane monosolvate  W. L. Davis
and A. Muller  Abstract: In the dimeric title compound,
[Pd2Cl4{P(C8H9)3}2]·CH2Cl2, the metal complex molecule is
situated about an inversion centre and is accompanied by a
dichloromethane solvent molecule situated on a twofold rotation
axis. The PdII atom has a slightly distorted square-planar
coordination sphere. The effective cone angle for the
tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl)phosphane ligand was calculated to be
169°. In the crystal, the metal complex and solvent molecules
are linked via C-H...Cl interactions, generating chains along
[10-2]. There are also C-H...[pi] and weak [pi]-[pi]
interactions present [centroid-centroid distance = 3.990 (2) Å,
plane-plane distance = 3.6352 (15) Å and ring slippage =
1.644 Å], forming of a three-dimensional structure.  Copyright ©
