Abstract: The title compound, [PdCl(C₁₄H₂₃N₅)]Cl·2H₂O, contains a four-coordinate palladium complex, in which the planes of the pyrazole rings are almost perpendicular. This is mainly a consequence of the close steric contacts between the methyl groups which would occur in the case of mirror symmetry, which are avoided by adopting a quasi-twofold rotation symmetry.
