The title compound, [PdCl(2)(C(23)H(23)NO)]·CH(3)OH, was obtained by the reaction of 1-(2,6-dimethyl-phenyl-imino)-1,2-diphenyl-propan-2-ol and palladium chloride in methanol. The Pd atom is four-coordinated by the O atom of a tertiary alcohol, the imine N atom of the hy-droxy-limine part of the bidentate ligand and by two chloride ions, forming a nearly square-planar geometry. The complex mol-ecule and the uncoordinated methanol mol-ecule are connected via an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond.
