The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [PdCl2(C10H8N2)]·0.5C4H8O2, consists of one PdII complex mol­ecule and a half-mol­ecule of 1,4-dioxane, the complete mol­ecule being generated by inversion symmetry. The PdII atom has an almost square-planar coordination formed by the 2,2′-bi­pyridine ligand and two chloride ligands. Two intra­molecular C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds occur. In the crystal, the PdII complex and 1,4-dioxane mol­ecules are connected by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a layer parallel to (10-1). Within the layer, weak π–π inter­actions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.817 (4) Å] are observed between the pyridine rings.
