title: (Acetato-κ(2)O,O')[2'-(di-tert-butyl-phosphanyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-κ(2)P,C(2)]palladium(II).
abstract: The structure of the title compound, [Pd(C(2)H(3)O(2))(C(20)H(26)P)], shows a distorted square-planar geometry for the Pd(II) atom, with significant deviations being evident owing to the asymmetric coordination mode of the acetate ligand. A weak intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action is noted. The crystal studied was a racemic twin.
