(eta2-tetracyanoethene)bis(triphenylphosphine-kappaP)palladium-dichloromethane (1/0.7).

The title compound, [Pd(C(6)N(4))(C(18)H(15)P)(2)].0.7CH(2)Cl(2), shows a planar coordination geometry around the metal atom that is an almost perfect isosceles triangle if the tetracyanoethene (tcne) ligand is deemed to occupy a single coordination site. The framework of the tcne ligand shows small distortions due to intramolecular steric contacts between the C[triple-bond]N groups and phenyl rings of the triphenylphosphine ligands.
