[Pd(SePh)2(dppe)] may be compared to that of
[Pd(SeCN)2(dppe)] [35], i.e. the most closely related spe-
cies available in the crystallographic literature. In

Pd±Se(1) distance. To a ®rst approximation, the structures
of [Pd(SC6F5)2(dppe)] and [Pd(SePh)2(dppe)] are similar to
each other, however, a distinguishing feature of the two
structures is found in the relative orientations of the S- or Se-
bound aryl rings.
As can be seen in Fig. 3, the two per¯uoro groups in
[Pd(SC6F5)(dppe)] are almost parallel with the dihedral
angle between the least-squares plane through the two
six-membered rings being 176.78. The average distance

comparable phenyl groups in [Pd(SePh)2(dppe)] is 45.68.
There is no obvious chemical reason for the different
orientations of the aryl groups and the different arrange-
ments probably arise as a result of crystal packing require-
ments rather than any electronic effect.
