Abstract

The title compound, [PdBr(2)(C(24)H(31)P)(2)], has a distorted trans square-planar coordination of the Pd atom, which occupies an inversion centre. The most important bond distances include Pd-P of 2.380 (2) Å and Pd-Br of 2.515 (2) Å. Weak inter-molecular π-π inter-actions between the benzene rings of adjacent mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.949 (6) Å] are present via crystallographic inversion centres, resulting in a one-dimensional supra-molecular architecture.
