title: trans-Dibromidobis[diphen-yl(p-tol-yl)phosphine]palladium(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [PdBr(2)(C(19)H(17)P)(2)], the Pd(II) ion resides on a centre of symmetry and is coordinated by two Br anions [Pd-Br = 2.4266 (2) Å] and two P-donor ligands [Pd-P = 2.3462 (5) Å] in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry [P-Pd-Br = 93.528 (12)°]. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into chains extended in [10].
