title: Bis{μ-2-[(dimethyl-amino)-meth-yl]benzene-tellurolato}bis-[chlorido-palladium(II)] dichloro-methane hemisolvate.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Pd(2)(C(9)H(12)NTe)(2)Cl(2)]·0.5CH(2)Cl(2), contains two half-mol-ecules, each lying on a twofold rotation axis; each mol-ecule is chiral and of the same enanti-omer. This is only possible as the mol-ecule has a hinged cis arrangement about the Pd(2+) coordination spheres. For this hinged dimeric structure, the angles between the two coordination planes in each mol-ecule are 21.59 (4) and 22.10 (4)°. This hinged cis arrangement also allows the two mol-ecules to form pairs linked by secondary inter-actions between the Pd and Te atoms of an adjoining mol-ecule, leading to a tetra-meric overall structure. C-H⋯Cl inter-actions consolidate the crystal packing.
