In the title complex, [PdBr(C(4)H(3)N(2))(C(18)H(15)P)(2)], the geometry around the Pd atom is distorted square-planar with the Pd atom displaced by 0.0334 (14) Å from the BrP(2)C plane. The two Ph(3)P ligands are in trans positions, defining a P-Pd-P angle of 171.78 (5)°, while the pyrimidinyl and bromide ligands are trans to each other [C-Pd-Br = 174.63 (14)°].
