title: Bis[(1,1'-biphenyl-2,2'-di-yl)di-tert-butyl-phospho-nium] di-μ-chlorido-bis-[dichlorido-palladate(II)].
abstract: In the title compound, (C(20)H(26)P)(2)[Pd(2)Cl(6)], the Pd(II) atom within the hexachloridodipalladate(II) dianion has a square-planar geometry. It resides on a centre of inversion with the asymmetric unit containing half of the dianion and one phospho-nium cation. Only weak C-H⋯π inter-actions are present in the crystal structure.
