title: Acetonitrile-[2-(1-{bis-[2,4,6-tris-(trifluoro-meth-yl)phen-yl]phosphan-yloxy}-1-methyl-eth-yl)pyridine]-methyl-palladium(II) hexa-fluoridoanti-monate dichloro-methane hemisolvate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Pd(CH(3))(C(26)H(14)F(18)NOP)(C(2)H(3)N)][SbF(6)]·0.5CH(2)Cl(2), the Pd(2+) cation has a distorted square-planar environment, being coordinated by the acetonitrile [Pd-N = 2.078 (8) Å] and methyl [Pd-C = 2.052 (9) Å] groups and the bidentate ligand 2-(1-{bis-[2,4,6-tris-(trifluoro-meth-yl)phen-yl]phosphan-yloxy}-1-methyl-eth-yl)pyridine (L). In L, one -CF(3) group is rotationally disordered between two orientations in a 1:1 ratio. The solvent mol-ecule was treated as disordered between two positions related by an inversion center with occupancies fixed at 0.5. The crystal packing exhibits weak inter-molecular C-H⋯F contacts.
