Abstract: The title palladacycle, [Pd(C₉H₁₂N)Cl(C₇H₁₀N₂)] or [Pd(DMBA)Cl(DMP)] [DMBA is 2-(dimethylamino)benzyl, N(CH₃)₂-CH₂C₆H₄, and DMP is 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine, 4-N(CH₃)₂C₅H₄N], crystallizes with three crystallographically independent but conformationally almost identical molecules (A, B and C) in the asymmetric unit. In all three molecules, the Pd atoms are coordinated by slightly distorted square-planar arrays of two N (pyridine and amine), benzyl C and Cl atoms. The pyridine and amine N atoms are positioned trans to one another. The dihedral angles between benzene and pyridine rings are 7.47 (17), 7.34 (16) and 10.83 (15)° in molecules A, B and C, respectively. In the crystal structure, weak intra- and intermolecular C-HN and C-HCl and C-H interactions stabilize the structure.
