Abstract: The title complex, chloro(6,6''-dimesityl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine)palladium(II) tetrachloropalladium(II) dichloromethane tetrasolvate, [Pd^IICl(dmtpy)]₂[Pd^IICl₄]·4CH₂Cl₂ (dmtpy is 6,6''-dimesityl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine, C₃₃H₃₁N₃), was synthesized and the crystal structure of the dichloromethane tetrasolvate has been determined. The complex has a distorted square-planar coordination formed by three N atoms and a chloride ion, the distortion caused by the extremely bulky substituted terpyridyl ligand.
