title: trans-Dibromidobis(tri-p-tolyl-arsine)palladium(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [PdBr(2)(C(21)H(21)As)(2)], the Pd(II) ion, residing on a centre of symmetry, is coordinated by two As donor atoms [Pd-As = 2.4276 (2) Å] and two Br anions [Pd-Br = 2.4194 (2) Å] in a distorted square-planar geometry [Br-Pd-As = 87.786 (7)°]. A weak intra-molecular C-H⋯Br inter-action occurs. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C-H⋯Br inter-actions are observed.
