Abstract: The title compound, [Pd(C₁₃H₁₀ClN₂S)Cl], is the monoclinic form of a previously reported triclinic structure of the same compound. The bond distances and angles of the molecule in the monoclinic form deviate slightly from those for the triclinic form. The Pd atom in this compound is tetracoordinated by a benzene C, a diazene N, a Cl and an S atom in an approximately square-planar geometry. The intermolecular interactions are very similar in both polymorphs. The molecules are found to dimerize through a nonbonding SS interaction [SS = 3.438 (2) Å]. There are no hydrogen bonds and the crystal packing is stabilized by four intermolecular - interactions; the distances between the centroids of the six-membered rings are 3.620 (3), 3.841 (3), 3.619 (3) and 3.842 (3) Å, and the perpendicular distances are 3.482, 3.482, 3.536 and 3.519 Å.
