title: trans-Dichloridobis[diphen-yl(4-vinyl-phen-yl)phosphane-κP]palladium(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [PdCl(2)(C(20)H(17)P)(2)], the Pd(II) atom lies on a center of symmetry, resulting in a distorted trans-square-planar geometry. The Pd-P and Pd-Cl bond lengths are 2.3366 (7) and 2.2966 (7) Å, respectively. The vinyl group is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.696 (15):0.304 (15) ratio.
