Molecules of the title compound, [PdCl(C6H4NO2S)(PPh3)(2)] .- C3H6O, exhibi
t a slight distortion from exact planarity at the Pd atom towards tetrahedr
al, with P-Pd-P and Cl-Pd-S angles of 174.98 (3) and 174.19 (3)degrees, res
pectively. The Pd-Cl and Pd-S bonds are, respectively, long [2.3550 (11) An
gstrom] and short [2.3020 (12) Angstrom] for their types; the S-C bond is a
lso very short [1.744 (4) Angstrom]. The solvating acetone molecule is link
ed to one of the phosphine ligands by means of a CD H ... O hydrogen bond.
