[1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane-κ2P,P′]{2-[(4-nitrobenzoylmethyl)diphenylphosphanyl]phenyl-κ2C,C′}palladium(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate–dichloromethane–n-hexane (1/1/0.5)
Abstract
In the cation of the title compound, [Pd(C26H19NO3P)(C26H24P2)]CF3O3S·CH2Cl2·0.5C6H14, the PdII atom has a slightly tetrahedrally distorted square-planar coordination geometry. The PdC3P and PdC2P2 five-membered metallacycles adopt envelope and twist conformations, respectively. In the crystal, intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds link cations and anions into a three-dimensional network. The dichloromethane solvent molecule is disordered over three orientations with a site-occupancy ratio of 0.5/0.3/0.2. The n-hexane solvent molecule has a crystallographically imposed centre of symmetry.
