title: A chloro-bridged dinuclear phosphinitopalladium complex, di-mu-chloro-bis[(diphenoxyphosphinite-kappaP)(diphenoxyphosphinito-kappaP)palladium(II)].
abstract: The title compound, [Pd2(C12H10O3P)2Cl2(C12H11O3P)2], consists of a dinuclear mu-chloro-bridged palladium unit with two diphenoxyphosphinite groups per Pd atom, linked together by a hydrogen bond. The asymmetric unit contains one half of the molecule, with the other half generated by an inversion centre. The geometry around the P atoms may be described as distorted tetrahedral. Adjacent molecules of the complex are linked by weak C-H...O and C-H...Cl hydrogen bonds. The structure is additionally stabilized by pi-pi stacking interactions between the aryl rings. These interactions form a herring-bone pattern in the crystal structure.
