The coordination geometry about the palladium(II) ion in [PdCl2{Ph2P(CH2)2NH2}] is distorted square planar. Individual atoms are displaced from the PdCl2PN coordination plane by no more than 0.094 Å, while in-plane distortion of the bond angles at the metal atom is more marked. The greater trans influence of phosphine over amine is reflected in the mean Pd-Cl bond lengths of 2.383, trans to P, and 2.293 Å, trans to N.
