Abstract

The title compound, trans-[PdCl(2){PPh(2)(4-Me(2)NC(6)H(4))}(2)], crystallizes with the Pd atom on a center of symmetry, resulting in a distorted trans-PdCl(2)P(2) square-planar geometry. The Pd-P and Pd-Cl bond lengths are 2.3550 (7) and 2.2906 (7) Å, respectively. Some weak inter-actions are observed between the aromatic rings of adjacent mol-ecules, with an inter-planar distance between two π-stacked rings of 3.505 (3) Å. Intra- and intermolecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds also occur.
