Abstract: In the title compound, [Pd(C₁₇H₁₄N₃S₂)₂]·2C₃H₇NO, the deprotonated Schiff base ligand acts as an N,S-bidentate chelate, forming a five-membered ring with the metal atom. The Pd^II ion, located on an inversion center, is four-coordinated by two of the Schiff base ligands in a square-planar geometry. In the crystal, the indolic NH groups are bonded to the dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent molecules via an N-HO interaction. In addition, C-HS interactions are observed.
