title: Dichlorido[1-(1-naphthyl-meth-yl)-3-(2-pyrid-yl)-1H-pyrazole-κN,N]palladium(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [PdCl(2)(C(19)H(15)N(3))], the Pd(II) centre is four-coordinated by two N-atom donors from one 1-[3-(2-pyrid-yl)pyrazol-1-ylmeth-yl]naphthalene (L) ligand and by two Cl atoms in a distorted square-planar coordination geometry. In the crystal structure, adjacent Pd(II) mononuclear units form inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions involving the benzene and pyridine rings of different L ligands and π-π stacking inter-actions between the pyrazolyl-pyridine and naphthalene rings of neighbouring L ligands, with a centroid-centroid separation of 3.522 (1) Å.
