title: Dichlorido{N-[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzylidene]-2-methylaniline}palladium(II) acetonitrile monosolvate.
abstract: The title imino-phosphine compound, [PdCl2(C26H22NP)]·CH3CN, was prepared by reaction of N-[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzylidene]-2-methylaniline with dichlorido(cycloocta-1,5-diene)palladium(II) in dry CH2Cl2. The Pd(II) cation is coordinated by the P and N atoms of the bidentate chelating ligand and by two chloride anions, generating a distorted square-planar coordination geometry. There is a detectable trans influence for the chloride ligands. The methyl group present in this structure has an influence on the crystal packing.
