Summary: | The title compound, [PdCl2(C21H12F9P)2]·CH2Cl2, crystallizes with two independent complex molecules (each having the PdII atom situated on an inversion centre) and a dichloromethane molecule in the asymmetric unit. The independent PdII atoms are in perfectly linear orientations of the ligands in mutually trans positions, but distortions of the Cl—Pd—P angles ranging from 86.151 (19) to 93.849 (19)° are evident. The effective cone angles for the tris[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]phosphane ligand were calculated to be 159 and 161°. In the crystal, weak C—H...Cl/F interactions create a three-dimensional supramolecular network. Loose packing at two of the –CF3 groups resulted in large thermal vibrations which were treated as two-component disorders [occupancy ratios 0.50:0.50 and 0.628 (15):0.372 (15)]. |
