Reproducible growth of a neutral inorganic co-crystal: Pd{PPh2(C16H15)}2Cl2.[Pd{PPh2(C16H15)}Cl2]2.solvate (solvate = CH2Cl2 or Et2O)
Abstract
The neutral mononuclear and dinuclear complexes Pd{PPh2(C16H15)}2Cl2 and [Pd{PPh2(C16H15)}Cl2]2 prefer to form co-crystals rather than homonuclear crystals when re-crystallised from solutions containing a 1 : 1 mixture of the two compounds
