title: Bis{1-[2-(diphenyl-phosphino)-ethyl]-3-ethylimidazol-2-yl-idene}palladium(II) bis-(hexa-fluoridophosphate) acetonitrile 2.85-solvate.
abstract: In the structure of the title compound, [Pd(C(19)H(21)N(2)P)(2)](PF(6))(2)·2.85CH(3)CN, the two six-membered NHC-phosphane chelate rings form a distorted square-planar coordination geometry around the Pd(II) atom, which lies 0.212 (1) Å above the coordination plane. The sum of the bond angles at Pd(II) is 358.3°, with C-Pd-P bite angles of 84.03 (10) and 83.54 (9)°. The structure includes three acetonitrile solvent mol-ecules, one with partial site occupation and one with severe disorder, which was eventually excluded from the refinement.
