Abstract: In the title compound, [PdCl₂(C₁₉H₁₅N₃)], the Pd^II centre is four-coordinated by two N-atom donors from one 1-[3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazol-1-ylmethyl]naphthalene (L) ligand and by two Cl atoms in a distorted square-planar coordination geometry. In the crystal structure, adjacent Pd^II mononuclear units form intermolecular C-H interactions involving the benzene and pyridine rings of different L ligands and - stacking interactions between the pyrazolyl-pyridine and naphthalene rings of neighbouring L ligands, with a centroid-centroid separation of 3.522 (1) Å.
