Abstract: In the title compound, [Pd(C₉H₁₇N₂O₃S)Cl]·1.5H₂O, the Pd atom is tetracoordinated by a naphthyl C, a diazene N, a Cl and a sulfonyl O atom in an approximate square-planar geometry; the asymmetric unit also contains 1.5 molecules of water, one molecule lying on a twofold rotation axis. A hydrophilic environment wrapping the polar portion of the compound is created by an array of water molecules. The crystal packing is stabilized by an intermolecular C-HO interaction and eight intermolecular - interactions; the centroid-centroid distances range from 3.647 (2)-3.8098 (18) Å, with perpendicular interplanar distances between 3.169 and 3.590 Å.
