Abstract: In the title compound, trans-[PdCl₂{P(C₇H₇)₃}₂], where P(C₇H₇)₃ is tri-m-tolylphosphine, the Pd atom is on an inversion centre, resulting in a trans-square-planar geometry. Selected geometric parameters are Pd-P and Pd-Cl distances of 2.3289 (4) and 2.2897 (4) Å, respectively, and a P-Pd-Cl angle of 87.77 (2)°. The effective cone angle for the tri-m-tolylphosphine is calculated to be 165°.
