Abstract: In the title compound, (C₁₆H₃₆N)₂[Pd(C₄N₂S₂)₂], the Pd^II center adopts a distorted square-planar geometry due to the four-membered chelate rings formed by coordination of the 2,2-dicyanoethylene-1,1-dithiolate (i-mnt) ligands [bite angle 75.0159 (17)°]. The bond distances in the coordinated i-mnt ligands indicate some delocalization of the -system.
