Abstract
In the title compound, [PdCl(2)(C(5)H(8)N(2))(C(12)H(12)N(2)O)], the Pd atom adopts a slightly distorted trans-PdCl(2)N(2) square-planar arrangement. The different Pd-N bond lengths can be related to the the electron-withdrawing effect of the o-toluoyl group on the substituted pyrazole ligand. The complex crystallizes as centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded dimers through N-H⋯Cl linkages.
