Abstract: The title compound, [Pd(C₆N₄)(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂]·0.7CH₂Cl₂, shows a planar coordination geometry around the metal atom that is an almost perfect isosceles triangle if the tetracyanoethene (tcne) ligand is deemed to occupy a single coordination site. The framework of the tcne ligand shows small distortions due to intramolecular steric contacts between the CN groups and phenyl rings of the triphenylphosphine ligands.

Formula: [Pd(C₆N₄)(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂]·0.7CH₂Cl₂
