title: Dichlorido{N-[(5-methyl-thio-phen-2-yl)methyl-idene]-2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanamine-κ(2) N,N'}palladium(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [PdCl2(C13H14N2S)], the Pd(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms of the chelating bidentate ligand and two chloride anions, giving rise to a distorted square-planar geometry. The methyl-substituted thio-phene arm and the pyridine ring are connected to the metal cation through N atoms to form a six-membered chelate ring with a boat conformation, making the complex stable.
