title: cis-Dichloridobis(2-isocyano-phenyl 4-meth-oxy-benzoate)palladium(II) chloro-form monosolvate.
abstract: In the title compound, [PdCl2(C15H11NO3)2]·CHCl3, the Pd(II) atom adopts a slightly distorted square-planar coordination geometry composed of two Cl atoms in cis positions and two C atoms from isocyano-phenyl ligands. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by π-π stacking inter-actions [shortest centroid-centroid distance = 3.600 (1) Å] between substituted benzene rings of different ligands. The crystal packing is characterized by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl inter-actions involving the chloro-form solvent mol-ecules.
