trans -Di-chlorido-bis-[( S )-(-)-1-(4-methyl-phen-yl)ethyl-amine-κ N ]palladium(II).

The title complex, [PdCl 2 (C 9 H 13 N) 2 ], comprises a single mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The Pd II atom is tetra-coordinated by two N atoms from two trans -aligned organic ligands and two Cl ligands, forming a square-planar metal coordination environment. The distances from the ortho -H atoms on the phenyl ring to the central Pd II atom fall within the range 4.70-5.30 Å, precluding any significant intra-molecular Pd⋯H inter-actions.
