Acetonitrile­[2-(1-{bis­[2,4,6-tris­(trifluoro­meth­yl)phen­yl]phosphan­yloxy}-1-methyl­eth­yl)pyridine]­methyl­palladium(II) hexa­fluoridoanti­monate dichloro­methane hemisolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Pd(CH3)(C26H14F18NOP)(C2H3N)][SbF6]·0.5CH2Cl2, the Pd2+ cation has a distorted square-planar environment, being coordinated by the acetonitrile [Pd—N = 2.078 (8) Å] and methyl [Pd—C = 2.052 (9) Å] groups and the bidentate ligand 2-(1-{bis­[2,4,6-tris­(trifluoro­meth­yl)phen­yl]phosphan­yloxy}-1-methyl­eth­yl)pyridine (L). In L, one –CF3 group is rotationally disordered between two orientations in a 1:1 ratio. The solvent mol­ecule was treated as disordered between two positions related by an inversion center with occupancies fixed at 0.5. The crystal packing exhibits weak inter­molecular C—H⋯F contacts
