trans-Dichloridobis[tris­(4-methoxy­phen­yl)phosphine]palladium(II) benzene monosolvate

The structure of the title compound, [PdCl2(C21H21O3P)2]·C6H6, shows a square-planar geometry for the PdII atom within a Cl2[P(PhOMe)3]2 ligand set. The crystal structure contains benzene as solvent. The PdII atom sits on a centre of inversion and therefore the asymmetric unit contains the PdII atom, one Cl atom, one tris­(4-methoxy­phen­yl)phosphine ligand and one half of the benzene solvent mol­ecule.
