[2,6-Bis[(dimethylamino-kappaN)methyl]phenyl-kappaC]iodopalladium(II) bis(diiodine).

The distorted square-planar coordination environment of the palladium(II) centre in [Pd(NCN)I].2I(2) [NCN is 2,6-bis[(dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl, C(12)H(19)N(2)] is defined by the monoanionic terdentate NCN ligand and one iodide anion. Two neutral I(2) molecules interact with the coordinated iodide anion at distances of approximately 3.
