title: Acetonitrile-[2-({bis[2,4,6-tris-(trifluorido-meth-yl)phen-yl]phosphan-yloxy}meth-yl)pyridine]-meth-ylpalladium(II) hexa-fluoro-anti-monate dichloro-methane hemisolvate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Pd(CH(3))(C(24)H(10)F(18)NOP)(CH(3)CN)][SbF(6)]·0.5CH(2)Cl(2), the Pd(II) atom has a distorted square-planar environment being coordinated by an acetonitrile N atom [Pd-N = 2.079 (3) Å], a methyl C atom [Pd-C = 2.047 (4) Å] and the bidentate ligand 2-({[2,4,6-tris-(trifluoro-meth-yl)phen-yl]phosphan-yloxy}meth-yl)pyridine (L). In L, the short distance of 3.621 (3) Å between the centroids of pyridine and benzene rings indicates the presence of a π-π inter-action. The crystal packing exhibits weak inter-molecular C-H⋯F contacts. The solvent mol-ecule has been treated as disordered between two positions of equal occupancy related by an inversion center.
