The title complex, [PdCl2(C20H20N2)]·CH3CN, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-[(2,6-diethyl­phen­yl)imino­meth­yl]quino­line with dichlorido(cyclo­octa-1,5-diene)palladium(II) in dry CH2Cl2. The PdII ion is coordinated by two N atoms of the bidentate quinoline ligand and by two chloride anions, generating a distorted square-planar coordination geometry around the metal centre. There is a detecta­ble trans influence for the chloride ligands. The crystal packing is characterized by π–π stacking between the quinoline rings. The use of acetonitrile as the crystallization solvent was essential for obtaining good-quality crystals.
