All reactions were carried out under a nitrogen atmosphere using a dual vacuum/nitrogen line and standard Schlenk techniques. Solvents were dried and purified by heating under reflux and under a nitrogen atmosphere in the presence of a suitable drying agent.
For the preparation of N-[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzylidene]-2-methylaniline, 2-methylaniline (0.1030 g, 0.961 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 2-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzaldehyde (0.2790 g, 0.961 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (10 ml). Anhydrous magnesium sulfate (~0.5 g) was added to the solution, after which the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 20 h. The resulting yellow mixture was filtered to obtain a yellow solution, which gave a yellow oil upon evaporation of the solvent (yield 0.2990 g, 82%). Spectroscopic analysis: IR (Nujol, ν, cm-1): 1622 (C═N imine), 1593, 1585, 1505 (C═C phenyl), 1435 (P—Ph). Analysis, calculated for C26H22NP: C 82.30, H 5.84, N 3.69%; found: C 82.04, H 5.93, N 3.55%.
The preparation of (I) followed the synthetic protocol of Koprowski et al. (2002), with minor modifications at the precipitation stage of the product. Crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray crystallographic analysis were grown by slow evaporation of an acetonitrile solution of the complex (yield 0.0697 g, 75%). Spectroscopic analysis: IR (Nujol, ν, cm-1): 1614 (C═N imine), 1585, 1560, 1502 (C═C phenyl). Analysis, calculated for C26H22Cl2NPPd: C 56.09, H 3.98, N 2.52%; found: C 55.83, H 4.22, N 2.77%.
All H atoms were placed in idealized positions and refined in riding mode, with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic) or 0.96 Å (methyl), and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Imino–phosphine complexes have been studied since the early 1990s (Newkome, 1993; Ghilardi et al., 1992). Their preparation is versatile because a wide range of amines and aldehydes of varying steric bulk are either available commercially or can be easily synthesized (Mogorosi et al. 2011; Nobre & Monteiro, 2009; Pellagati et al., 2005; Newkome, 1993; Ghilardi et al., 1992; Vaughan et al., 2011; Puri et al., 2011; Doherty et al., 2002; Onani et al., 2010; Motswainyana et al., 2012). The soft P atom coordinates strongly to soft metals, while the hard N atom is weakly coordinated and therefore more easily displaced, thus allowing hemilability. The hemilability of these ligands provides a unique reversible protection of coordination, an important property of ligands which leads to improved catalytic reactions (Ojwach et al., 2007).
Phosphine-based complexes have been less well explored for their potential to inhibit tumour growth, possibly due to their susceptibility to oxidation, which makes them very difficult to handle in air. In our attempt to prepare new imino–phosphine palladium(II) complexes, which could induce apoptosis in tumour cells, we synthesized and crystallized the title compound, (I).
Compound (I) proved to possess remarkable antiproliferative activities against the human breast (MCF-7) and human colon (HT-29) cancer cell lines compared with the reference drug cisplatin. The recorded cytotoxic activities could be attributed to the higher aqueous solubility of this palladium(II) complex, which makes it easier to dissociate in solution, thereby making the compound bio-available (Gao et al., 2009). The imino–phosphine ligand N-[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzylidene]-2-methylaniline forms a six-membered ring around the metal centre, which stabilizes the complex during biological investigations, probably resulting in the observed antitumour profiles (Bacchi et al., 2000).
The PdII cation in (I) (Fig. 1) is coordinated by the P and N atoms of the imino–phosphine ligand and two chloride anions, generating a distorted square-planar coordination geometry around the metal centre. The bond angles around Pd1 (Table 1) describe the observed distorted square-planar geometry, while also indicating some ring strain induced by the chelating nature of the bidentate ligand. The Pd—C1 bond lengths (Table 1) are in good agreement with the average Pd—Cl bond length of 2.298 (15) Å for known palladium(II) complexes (Allen, 2002; Chiririwa & Muller, 2012). The average Pd—N and Pd—P bond lengths (Table 1) also compare well with literature values (Chiririwa & Muller, 2012; Motswainyana et al., 2012). There is a detectable trans influence for the chloride anions, since the Pd1—Cl1 bond is significantly longer than Pd1—Cl2, thus reflecting the stronger trans influence of the diphenylphosphanyl group compared with an amine (Doherty et al., 2002). The PdII cation deviates by 0.0026 (3) Å from the best least-squares plane through atoms P1, N1, Cl1 and Cl2. This plane makes an angle of 46.57 (11)° with the best least-squares plane through the C2–C7 ring. The Pd-containing six-membered ring has a screw-boat conformation, with atoms Pd1 and P1 deviating from the plane through the other four atoms.
Despite the presence of several phenyl groups, no π–π interactions are present in the crystal packing of (I); only a number of weaker C—H···π contacts are observed [C23—H23···Cg1i = 2.84 Å and C26—H26A···Cg2ii = 2.93 Å; Cg1 and Cg2 are the centroids of the C2–C7 and C14–C19 rings, respectively; symmetry codes: (i) -x + 3/2, y - 1/2, -z + 3/2; (ii) -x + 3/2, y + 1/2, -z + 3/2].
The asymmetric unit of (I) contains one solvent molecule of acetonitrile, which was essential during the crystallization experiments to obtain good quality crystals. Two acetonitrile molecules occupy relatively large voids of 233 Å3, and there are four such voids in the unit cell. In the packing, the position of the acetonitrile is fixed on one side by a C27—H27C···Cl2 interaction [H27C···Cl2iii = 2.700 Å; symmetry code: (iii) -x + 1, -y + 2, -z + 1] and by a weak π-interaction (C27—H27B···Cg2 = 3.29 Å) (Fig. 2). Furthermore, atom N2 interacts with atoms H11, H16 and H22 of neighbouring molecules [N2···H11iv = 2.756 Å, N2···H16v = 2.652 Å and N2···H22vi = 2.775 Å; symmetry codes: (iv) x, y - 1, z; (v) -x + 1, y, -z + 1/2; (vi) -x + 1, -y + 1, -z + 1]. Despite these interactions, the acetonitrile molecules show a slight disorder, as indicated by the difference electron-density map (e.g. peaks of 0.63, 0.46 and -0.52 e Å-3 close to acetonitrile).
The shortest interactions for both Cl atoms are C—H···Cl interactions (Fig. 3) [Cl1···H13iii = 2.86 Å, Cl1···H17vii = 2.75 Å, Cl2···H1ii = 2.60 Å, Cl2···H5viii = 2.83 Å and Cl2···H27Ciii = 2.700 Å; symmetry codes: (vii) x, y + 1, z; (viii) x, -y + 2, z + 1/2].
The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version 5.34; Allen, 2002) contains 18 structures containing a dichlorido{[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzylidene]amine}palladium(II) group. The angles between the best planes through the benzene ring and the PdCl2NP group range between 27.6 and 62.5°. The structure with refcode XUWHUG (Koprowski et al., 2002) is almost identical to (I), only missing the ortho-methyl group, but crystallizes in the space group P1. A fit of the two structures results in an r.m.s. deviation of 0.263 Å. As in (I), both Cl atoms attached to Pd also interact with H—C bonds. However, the interaction of the Cl atom equivalent to Cl2 in (I) with the H atom attached to the C atom equivalent to C25 in (I) is not possible, due to the presence of the methyl group. Instead, atom Cl2 interacts with atom Cl3 of the dichloromethane present in the packing, and a different crystal packing is observed for XUWHUG which also contains π–π interactions.
