Abstract

The structure of the title compound, [Pd(C(2)H(3)O(2))(C(20)H(26)P)], shows a distorted square-planar geometry for the Pd(II) atom, with significant deviations being evident owing to the asymmetric coordination mode of the acetate ligand. A weak intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action is noted. The crystal studied was a racemic twin.
