As the first example of a crystallographically confirmed transition metal complex with a bidentate hybrid ligand spanning trans positions, the square-planar palladium(II) complex containing the trans chelating pyridyl-phosphine bidentate hybrid ligand, bound through a pyridine and a phosphine, trans-PdCl2, is prepared and the crystal structure was determined.
