“…These values are typical for other chloro-bridged phosphapalladacycles [24,51e53]. The length difference for the PdeCl bonds in 1, 0.0126 A, is greater than that observed in IeIII, 0.001e0.005 A; however, the difference is smaller than that in IV, 0.020 A and significantly smaller than in palladacycles with the (sp 3 )C donor atom, in which the PdeCl bond trans to the P atom is significantly shorter, up to 0.088 A [56]. These observations suggest similar trans influence of the (sp 2 )C atom and the heteroatom in the PPh 2 fragment in complexes 1 and IeIV and a greater trans influence of the (sp 3 )C donor atom compared to its sp 2 -hybridized counterpart [22].…”
