The crystal structure of a second polymorph of [Pd(CH3)(C6H5)(C10H8N2)], containing four crystallographically independent molecules, is presented and compared with the structure of the previously reported polymorph [Markies et al. (1991), J. Organomet. Chem. 482, 191-199] containing only one crystallographically independent molecule. In both polymorphs molecules lie in infinite stacks, surrounded by six similar stacks and the main difference between the two polymorphs being about 23° in the tilt angle of the coordination plane with reference to the stacking direction.
