trans-Chloro(2-nitrobenzenethiol-ato-S)bis(triphenylphosphine-P)-palladium(II) monoacetone solvate

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