title: {μ-1,3-Bis[(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)meth-yl]benzene-κN:N}di-μ-chlorido-bis-[chloridopalladium(II)] toluene solvate.
abstract: In the title complex, [Pd(2)Cl(4)(C(18)H(22)N(4))]·C(7)H(8), each of the two four-coordinated Pd(II) atoms is in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry, defined by one N atom from the ligand, two bridging Cl atoms and one terminal Cl atom. Inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions between the pyrazole ring H atom and the toluene ring stabilize the crystal structure.
