The racemic title compound, [FePdCl(2)(C(5)H(5))(C(36)H(29)P(2))]center dot 2(CH(3))(2)SO, features a Pd-chelating 1,3-diphosphine, which is substituted at a P-bearing asymmetric C atom by a ferrocenyl group. The Pd(II) atom is in a distorted quadratic coordination by two P and two Cl atoms with bond lengths of 2.2414 (3) and 2.2438 (3) angstrom for Pd-P, and 2.3452 (3) and 2.3565 (3) angstrom for Pd-Cl. The conformation of the Pd complex is controlled by an intramolecular slipped pi-pi stacking interaction between a phenyl and a cyclopentadienyl ring with corresponding C center dot center dot center dot C distances starting at 3.300 (2) angstrom and the distance between ring centroids being 3.674 (2) angstrom. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl and C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds. The (CH(3))(2)SO solvent molecules are arranged in layers parallel to (101) and are linked in pairs by C-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions. One (CH(3))(2)SO molecule is orientationally disordered [occupancy ratio 0.8766 (17):0.1234 (17)] with sulfur in two positions at both sides of its C(2)O triangle.
