trans-Dibromidobis(triphenylphosphine-κP)palladium(II) chloroform monosolvate

Abstract

The PdII atom in the title compound, [PdBr2{P(C6H5)3}2]·CHCl3, lies on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated in a distorted square-planar geometry by two P atoms from two triphenylphosphine ligands and by two Br atoms in a trans arrangement. The chloroform solvent molecule is equally disordered about another twofold rotation axis.
