Abstract: A phase transition was found to occur at 153 K in the title compound, (C₈H₂₀N)₂[PdCl₆]. The structures of the two phases are reported at 292 and 130 K. The low-temperature phase is twinned. The phase transition is accompanied by a minor displacement of the ions. There are C-HCl interactions as short as 2.80 Å, indicating the existence of hydrogen bonds, and this was confirmed by vibrational spectroscopy. The [Pd₂Cl₆]^2- anion occupies sites of mmm and 2/m symmetry in the room-temperature and low-temperature phases, respectively.

Formula: (C₈H₂₀N)₂[Pd₂Cl₆]
