Abstract: The title compound, trans-[Pd₂Cl₄(PCy₃)₂]·C₆H₆, where PCy₃ is tricyclohexylphosphine (C₁₈H₃₃P), cocrystallizes with one benzene molecule in the centrosymmetric space group P2₁/c and both molecules lie on inversion centers. Each Pd atom adopts a distorted square-planar geometry [angles vary from 84.23 (3) to 95.82 (3)°], and is bonded to a terminal chloride, a phosphine and two bridging chlorides. Bond lengths are typical of related species.
