Abstract

The title compound, [Pd(C(2)H(3)OS(2))(2)(C(18)H(15)P)], features a palladium complex with a triphenyl-phosphane ligand and two xanthate ligands, one of them coordinates in a bidentate and the other in a monodentate fashion, giving rise to a slightly distorted square-planar coordination of the Pd(II) ion. As a result of this difference in the coordination modes, the C-S bond lengths are different, viz. 1.687 (2) and 1.692 (2) Å in the bidentate ligand and 1.723 (2) Å in the monodentate ligand, whereas the non-coordinating S atom has a C-S distance of 1.649 (2) Å. The crystal packing is stabilized by C-H⋯O inter-actions.
