Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [PdCl(C9H12NSe)(C18H15P)], contains two independent mol-ecules. In both cases, the Pd(2+) cations are coordinated by the Se and N atoms of the chelating bidentate 2-[(di-methyl-amino)-meth-yl]benzene-seleno-late ligand. The chloride ligand lies trans to selenium and the tri-phenyl-phosphane ligand is trans to nitro-gen. The Pd-Se bond lengths in the two independent coordination environments of Pd are 2.3801 (4) and 2.3852 (4) Å, the Pd-P bond lengths are 2.2562 (8) and 2.2471 (8) Å, the Pd-N bond lengths are 2.172 (2) and 2.158 (2) Å, and the Pd-Cl bond lengths are 2.3816 (8) and 2.3801 (8) Å. The square-planar coordination around one Pd(2+) cation is less distorted than that around the other.
