In the title complex, [Pd2Cl4(C18H22N4)]·C7H8, each of the two four-coordinated PdII atoms is in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry, defined by one N atom from the ligand, two bridging Cl atoms and one terminal Cl atom. Intermolecular C—H...π interactions between the pyrazole ring H atom and the toluene ring stabilize the crystal structure.
