The structure of 1,2-bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzylideneamino)ethanedichloropalladium(II) was determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The structure derived from NMR and IR spectra and elemental analysis is consistent with it. The complex is orthorhombic, space group Pcab, with a = 14.8662(12), b = 15.0861(13), c = 20.6255(14) angstrom, V = 4625.7(6) angstrom(3) and Z = 8. In the lattice, there exists a weak C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl hydrogen bond.
