Chloro­(phenyl)(1H-pyrazole-κN²)(tri­phenyl­phosphine-κP)­palladium(II)

In the title compound, [Pd(C₆H₅)Cl(C₃H₄N₂){P(C₆H₅)₃}], the phenyl and Cl ligands lie mutually trans. The compound is the first structurally characterized complex with four mono­dentate Cl, P, N and (non-carbenoid) C ligands in a square-planar four-coordinate palladium(II) environment. The pyrazole ligand is coplanar with the latter array. The pyrazole NH group forms a bifurcated hydrogen bond to Cl, with an intra- and intermolecular component.
