Materials Data on K2PdCl4 by Materials Project
K2PdCl4 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Cl1- atoms. All K–Cl bond lengths are 3.30 Å. Pd2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Cl1- atoms. All Pd–Cl bond lengths are 2.33 Å. Cl1- is bonded to four equivalent K1+ and one Pd2+ atom to form a mixture of distorted face, edge, and corner-sharing ClK4Pd square pyramids.
