In the structure of the title compound, ,1-ethylenedicarbonitrilato(2-
)-S,S'](pyridine-N)- (triphenylphosphine-P)palladium(II)-acetonitrile
(1/1), [Pd(C4N2S2)(C5H5N)(C18H15P)].CH3CN, the Pd atom is coordinated
by the two S atoms of the dimercaptoethylenedicarbonitrilate ligand ac
ting as a bidentate ligand, the P atom from triphenylphosphine and the
N atom from pyridine, with Pd-S distances of 2.288 (2) and 2.340(1) A
ngstrom, a Pd-P distance of 2.300(1)lq and a Pd-N distance of 2.082 (3
) Angstrom. The S-Pd-S angle is 75.35 (4)degrees.
