trans-Di-μ-chlorido-bis­{chlorido[tris­(3,5-dimethyl­phen­yl)phosphane-κP]palla­dium(II)} dichloro­methane monosolvate

In the dimeric title compound, [Pd(2)Cl(4){P(C(8)H(9))(3)}(2)]·CH(2)Cl(2), the metal complex molecule is situated about an inversion centre and is accompanied by a dichloro­methane solvent mol­ecule situated on a twofold rotation axis. The Pd(II) atom has a slightly distorted square-planar coordination sphere. The effective cone angle for the tris­(3,5-dimethyl­phen­yl)phos­phane ligand was calculated to be 169°. In the crystal, the metal complex and solvent mol­ecules are linked via C—H⋯Cl inter­actions, generating chains along [10-2]. There are also C—H⋯π and weak π–π inter­actions present [centroid–centroid distance = 3.990 (2) Å, plane–plane distance = 3.6352 (15) Å and ring slippage = 1.644 Å], forming of a three-dimensional structure.
