The X-ray crystal structure of the cyclometallated palladium(II) complex [{Pd(L2)(mu-Cl)}2], L2 = 2,6-dimethyl-N-(benzylidene)phenylaminate, is described. Crystals were orthorhombic, space group Pna2(1) with a = 17.307(3) angstrom, b = 17.732(4) angstrom, c = 9.075 angstrom, Z = 4, U = 2785.0(10) angstrom3. The palladated dimer, with asymmetrically bridging chlorine atoms, exhibits a Pd2Cl2 unit folded at 36.7(1)-degrees and a non-bonding Pd ... Pd separation of 3.425(1) angstrom.
