Abstract: The title compound, [PdBr₂(C₆H₁₂N₃)₂] or [PdBr₂(PTA)₂] (where PTA is 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), was found to be isostructural with the previously reported trans-[PtI₂(PTA)₂]. The Pd atom lies on an inversion centre, resulting in a trans-square-planar geometry. Selected geometrical parameters are Pd1-P1 and Pd1-Br1 distances of 2.320  (1) and 2.427  (1)  Å, respectively, and a P-Pd-Br angle of 90.6  (3)°. The effective cone angle for the PTA ligands was calculated as 114.0°.
