ABSTRACT: In the title complex, [Pd(C(34)H(33)NP(2))(C(17)H(14)O)], the Pd(0) atom is coordinated in a trigonal planar geometry formed by two P atoms of a bis-[(diphenyl-phosphino)eth-yl]aniline ligand and a C=C (η(2)) bond involving the C atoms that are in the α,β positions relative to the central ketone of the dibenzyl-ideneacetone ligand.
