Abstract

In the title compound, [PdBr2(C18H15As)2], the PdII ion resides on a centre of symmetry and is coordinated by two As atoms [Pd—As = 2.4184 (3) Å] and two Br anions [Pd—Br = 2.4196 (3) Å] in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry [As—Pd—Br = 90.12 (1)°]. The crystal packing exhibits weak inter­molecular C—H⋯Br inter­actions.
