[2-(Diphenylphosphanyl)benzenethiolato-κ2P,S](pyridine-2-thiolato-κS)(triphenylphosphine-κP)palladium(II)
Abstract
In the title compound, [Pd(C5H4NS)(C18H14PS)(C18H15P)], the PdII atom has a slightly distorted square-planar environment. Two coordination sites are occupied by a P,S-chelating 2-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzenethiolate ligand and the other two by a P atom from a triphenylphosphine ligand and an S atom from a pyridine-2-thiolate ligand, exhibiting a trans arrangement of the two P-donor atoms. In the crystal structure, weak intra- and intermolecular C—H...π and π–π interactions are observed. The pyridyl ring is equally disordered over two positions.
