Abstract

In the title compound, [PdCl(2)(C(7)H(13)N(3))]·CH(2)Cl(2), the 2-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethanamine ligand chelates the Pd(II) atom via two N atoms forming a six-membered ring resulting in a distorted square-planar metal coordination environment, highlighted by N-Pd-Cl angles of 172.63 (8) and 174.98 (9)°. In addition to N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds creating infinite chains along [001], several C-H⋯Cl inter-actions are observed in the crystal structure.
