Crystal structure of di-µ-pentafluorobenzenethiolatobis(pentafluorobenzenethiolato)-bis(triphenylphosphine)dipalladium(II), [PdII(Ph3P)(SC6F5)2]2

Abstract

The crystal structure of di-µ-pentafluorobenzenethiolato-bis(pentafluorobenzenethiolato)bis(triphenylphosphine)dipalladium(II) has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray data collected photographically. The crystals are monoclinic, spacegroup P2₁/c, with unit cell parameters a= 21·918(6), b= 20·040(10), c= 16·106(8)Å, and β= 116°3(8)′. The ligands are approximately square planar about each of the palladium atoms, the molecules themselves being centrosymmetric so that the non-bridging pentafluorobenzenethiolato-ligands are in the trans-configuration.
