Abstract: In the title compound, [PdCl₂(C₅H₈N₂)(C₁₂H₁₂N₂O)], the Pd atom adopts a slightly distorted trans-PdCl₂N₂ square-planar arrangement. The different Pd-N bond lengths can be related to the the electron-withdrawing effect of the o-toluoyl group on the substituted pyrazole ligand. The complex crystallizes as centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded dimers through N-HCl linkages.
