Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Pd(C₇H₁₆N₂)₂]Cl₂·3CH₃OH, has been determined at 180  (2)  K in the non-centrosymmetric space group P2₁2₁2₁. The structure contains only one crystallographically unique Pd metal centre, showing a slightly distorted square-planar geometry, in which the two chiral (S)-(-)-2-aminomethyl-1-ethylpyrrolidine diamines are coordinated with a trans configuration in order to minimize the steric interaction between neighbouring substituent ethyl groups. [Pd(C₇H₁₆N₂)₂]²⁺ complex cations are strongly hydrogen-bonded to the Cl^- anions and methanol molecules, forming supramolecular tapes running along the a axis.
