Bis{μ-2-[(dimethyl­amino)­meth­yl]benzene­tellurolato}bis­[chlorido­palladium(II)] dichloro­methane hemisolvate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Pd(2)(C(9)H(12)NTe)(2)Cl(2)]·0.5CH(2)Cl(2), contains two half-mol­ecules, each lying on a twofold rotation axis; each mol­ecule is chiral and of the same enanti­omer. This is only possible as the mol­ecule has a hinged cis arrangement about the Pd(2+) coordination spheres. For this hinged dimeric structure, the angles between the two coordination planes in each mol­ecule are 21.59 (4) and 22.10 (4)°. This hinged cis arrangement also allows the two mol­ecules to form pairs linked by secondary inter­actions between the Pd and Te atoms of an adjoining mol­ecule, leading to a tetra­meric overall structure. C—H⋯Cl inter­actions consolidate the crystal packing.
