title: Bis(tetra-n-butylammonium) di-mu-chloro-bis[(tetramethyl buta-1,3-diene-1,2,3,4-tetracarboxylato-kappa(2)C(1),C(4))palladium].
abstract: The anionic complex in the title compound, (C(16)H(36)N)(2)[Pd(2)(C(12)H(12)O(8))(2)Cl(2)], lies on a centre of inversion, so that the [Pd(2)(mu-Cl)(2)] core is planar, which is the most frequent conformation found for complexes containing this moiety in the Cambridge Structural Database [October 2001 Release; Allen & Kennard (1993). Chem. Des. Autom. News, 8, 1, 31-37]. This dinuclear complex has a Pd...Pd distance of 3.5119 (4) A. The bite angle of the chelating ligand [79.79 (8) degrees] distorts the square-planar coordination around the metal atom.
