In the title complex, [CoPd(2)(C(3)H(5))(2)(C(8)H(11))Cl(2)(C(40)H(30)P(2))]·CH(2)Cl(2), the Co(I) atom is sandwiched between the cyclo-penta-dienyl and cyclo-butadiene rings. The two diphenyl-phosphine substituents of the cyclo-butadiene ring are situated opposite to each other and bind two Pd(II) atoms, which are additionally coordinated by a chloride ion and the three C atoms of an allyl ligand, forming a distorted planar coordination environment. The Cl atoms of the dichloro-methane solvent mol-ecule (equal occupancies) and one C atom and its attached H atom of each of the allyl ligands (occupancies 0.55:0.45) are disordered.
