Abstract
The molecular structure of oxydi(carboxymethyl)bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II), [Pd(C4H4O3)(PPh3)2] has been determined by means of X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the orthorhombic system, space group P212121, with four formula units in a cell with dimensions of a=16.320(2), b=20.104(2), and c=10.271(2) A. R=0.058 for 4732 non-zero relfections. The feature of the structure is that the palladium atom is chelated by an acetic anhydride to form a six-membered ring [Pd–C=2.141(13) and 2.124(11) A], and the palladium atom has a square-planar geometry.
