trans-Bis(μ-benzene­thiol­ato-κ²S:S)bis[chlorido­(tri­phenyl­phosphane-κP)palladium(II)] chloro­form disolvate

The title compound, [Pd₂Cl₂(C₆H₅S)₂(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂]·2CHCl₃, contains a centrosymmetric dinuclear palladium complex with the Pd^II cation in a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment. The Pd^II cations are bridged by the S atoms of two benzene­thiol­ate ligands with different Pd—S distances [2.2970 (11) and 2.3676 (11) Å]. The coordination of the metal atom is completed by a chloride anion [2.3383 (11) Å] and a tri­phenyl­phosphane ligand [2.2787 (11) Å]. Weak C—H...Cl inter­actions are present between complex mol­ecules and the CHCl₃ solvent mol­ecule. The latter is disordered over two positions in a 0.792 (8):0.208 (8) ratio. The crystal under investigation was found to be twinned by nonmerohedry, with a fraction of 73.4 (1)% for the major twin component.
