trans-Dichloridobis[(S)-(−)-1-(4-methylphenyl)ethylamine-κN]palladium(II)

The title complex, [PdCl2(C9H13N)2], comprises a single molecule in the asymmetric unit. The PdII atom is tetracoordinated by two N atoms from two trans-aligned organic ligands and two Cl ligands, forming a square-planar metal coordination environment. The distances from the ortho-H atoms on the phenyl ring to the central PdII atom fall within the range 4.70–5.30 Å, precluding any significant intramolecular Pd...H interactions.
