{Bis­[2-(3,5-dimethyl­pyrazol-1-yl)eth­yl]amine-κ3 N, N′, N′′}chloro­palladium(II) chloride dihydrate.

The title compound, [PdCl(C14H23N5)]Cl·2H2O, contains a four-coordinate palladium complex, in which the planes of the pyrazole rings are almost perpendicular. This is mainly a consequence of the close steric contacts between the methyl groups which would occur in the case of mirror symmetry, which are avoided by adopting a quasi-twofold rotation symmetry.
