title: The allyl complex di-&mgr;-chloro-bis
abstract: The title compound, di-&mgr;-chloro-bis[(2,3,4-eta)-ethyl 6, 6-dimethyl-5-oxohept-2-enoato]palladium(II), [Pd(2)Cl(2)(C(11)H(17)O(3))(2)], is a binuclear chloro-bridged palladium allyl complex that was obtained serendipitously From the reaction of 6,6-dimethyl-2-hepten-4-ynoate with Na(2)PdCl(4) in water-containing alcohol. The allyl group is substituted with an ester and a tert-butylcarboxy group. The dimeric molecules link via C-H.O contacts into a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane.
