[1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane-κ2P,P′] dichloridopalladium(II) dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [PdCl2(C26H24P 2)]·C2H6OS, the PdII atom adopts a distorted cis-PdCl2P2 square-planar coordination geometry. The five-membered chelate ring adopts an envelope conformation with a methylene C atom in the flap position. The S and C atoms of the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent molecule are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.8976 (18):0.1024 (18) ratio. The DMSO O atom accepts three C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds from an adjacent complex molecule. © 2012 International Union of Crystallography.
