In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title compound, [Pd2(C4H7)2(C16H14N2S2)], the metal atom is η3-coordinated by three C atoms of a crotyl ligand [Pd—C = 2.147 (4), 2.079 (5) and 2.098 (5) Å], the longest distance influenced by the steric interaction with the benzyl substituents of the dibenzyldithiooximidate (DTO) ligand. The Pd—N and Pd—S bonds to this ligand are 2.080 (3) and 2.3148 (9) Å, respectively, completing a square-planar coordination environment for PdII. The benzyl groups are oriented so as to maximize the interaction between a benzylic H atom and an S atom, resulting in a dihedral angle of 77.1 (2)° between the benzene rings and the metal complex plane. In the crystal, no inter-complex hydrogen-bonding interactions are present.
