Abstract:
A new triclinic polymorph of the title compound, [PdCl(2)(C(18)H(15)P)(2)], has two independent molecules in the unit cell, with the Pd atoms located on inversion centres. One molecule has an eclipsed conformation, whereas the second molecule adopts a gauche conformation. The molecules with a gauche conformation are involved in weak intermolecular C-H···Cl-Pd interactions with symmetry-related molecules. It is suggested that C-H···Cl-Pd interactions are mainly responsible for the existence of conformational differences, which contribute to the polymorph formation. In the crystal, there are layers of eclipsed and gauche molecules separated by normal van der Waals interactions.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
