Abstract: The palladium center of the title compound, [PdBr₂(C₁₀H₉N₃)], has a slightly distorted square-planar conformation, with the Pd atom bonded to the two pyridine N atoms of the di-2-pyridylamine moiety and to two Br atoms. The Pd-Br and Pd-N bond lengths are 2.4168 (6)/2.4201 (5) and 2.036 (3)/2.042 (3) Å, respectively.

Formula: [PdBr₂(C₁₀H₉N₃)]
