title: Dibromidobis(triphenyl-arsine)palladium(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [PdBr(2)(C(18)H(15)As)(2)], the Pd(II) ion resides on a centre of symmetry and is coordinated by two As atoms [Pd-As = 2.4184 (3) Å] and two Br anions [Pd-Br = 2.4196 (3) Å] in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry [As-Pd-Br = 90.12 (1)°]. The crystal packing exhibits weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Br inter-actions.
