[PdCl₂(dppfO₂-O,O′)]: a simple palladium(II) complex with a rare tetrahedral structure

Abstract

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of PdCl₂(dppfO₂) [dppfO₂ = 1,1′-bis(oxodiphenylphosphoranyl)ferrocene] shows a rare tetrahedral geometry at a d⁸ metal centre; physical and spectroscopic characterisations indicate a paramagnetic species.

Wilkins, Interscience, New York, 1960, ch. 6, p. 400) except for the diamagnetic contribution of dppfO₂ which is determined experimentally as –240 × 10^–6 cm³ mo^–1.
