Popis: The symmetric ligands [Ar-S-CH2-Ph-S-(CH2)-]2, L1 (Ar = o-FPh) and L2 (Ar = p-FPh), and their PdII complexes (1 and 2) were synthesized and structurally characterized. Molecular structures of complexes 1 and 2 display the L1 and L2 ligands coordinating palladium in a κ2-SS bidentate fashion. The metal center exhibits a square planar geometry involving the two sulfur atoms and two chloride atoms which are oriented in cis disposition. Interestingly, the two ortho-hydrogen atoms from the phenyl rings in both complexes are engaged in Pd⋯Hortho interactions with distances from 2.976 to 3.280 A. These distances can suffer an increase or decrease in their longitude due to the presence of intramolecular C–H⋯π interactions. Additionally, the presence of Pd⋯H interactions in palladium complexes (1 and 2) were identified by an NCI analysis. The complexes 1, 2 and a similar complex 3 that also displays Pd⋯Hortho interactions have been evaluated in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions.
