(+)-trans-Chlorido­{2-[(R p)-2-(methyl­sulfan­yl)ferro­cen­yl]-2,5,6,7-tetra­hydro­pyrrolo­[1,2-c]imidazol-3-yl­idene}bis(tri­phenyl­phosphane-κP)palladium(II) hexa­fluorido­phosphate di­chloro­form disolvate

The title solvated complex, [FePd(C5H5)(C12H13N2S)Cl(C18H15P)2]PF6·2CHCl3, bearing a chiral ferrocenyl pyrrolo-imidazolyl-idene N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, was synthesized by oxidative addition of a chloro-imidazolium salt to Pd(PPh3)4. The PdII ion is coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar coordination geometry, with the Cl atom trans to the coordinating C atom of the pyrrolo-imidazolyl-idene ligand. The complex features a pendant thio-ether group that is not involved in coordination to Pd. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯F and C-H⋯π inter-actions connect the components of the structure, forming chains propagating along [1-10]. The fused pyrrolidine ring is in an envelope conformation, and the flap atom was refined as disordered over two sets of sites, with occupancies of 0.77 (4) and 0.23 (4).
