μ-1,2-Bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane-κ2P:P′-bis{[1,2-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane-κ2P,P′]palladium(0)}
Abstract
The title compound, [Pd2(C26H48P2)3], crystallizes in an `extended' conformation with crystallographically imposed centrosymmetry. The crystal used was twinned via a 180° rotation about the reciprocal axis (0,0,1). The ratio of the two twin components is 54.16 (4):46.84 (4). The crystal packing involves significant interdigitation of the cyclohexyl groups with a considerable number of short H⋯H contacts.
