[5-Benzyl-3-phenyl-2-(2-pyridyl-κN)thiazolidin-4-one-κS]dichloropalladium(II)

The palladium(II) centre in the title compound, [PdCl2(C21H18N2OS)], is coordinated to the pyridyl N atom and to the thia­zolidinone S atom of the 5-benzyl-3-phenyl-2-(2-pyridyl)­thia­zolidin-4-one ligand, resulting in a five-membered chelate ring. Two cis-chloro ligands complete the square-planar coordination environment of the metal. Although the geometry at the Pd centre is essentially planar, the N—Pd—S bite angle of 85.20 (8)° causes deviations in the cis angles from the ideal value of 90°. Opposite enantiomers form one-dimensional chains in the cell via a short S⋯O intermolecular interaction.
