Abstract: The title compound, (C₁₀H₁₆N)₂[PdCl₄], has been crystallized from acetonitrile. The asymmetric unit contains two 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium cations in general positions and two halves of tetrachloropalladate(II) anions, with the metal atoms lying on inversion centers. The Pd atoms are four-coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The crystal structure is stabilized by numerous weak C-HCl interactions.
