Materials Data on Na2PdO6 by Materials Project
Na2PdO6 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Na2PdO6 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Na is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share edges with three equivalent NaO6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent PdO6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.47 Å) and two longer (2.48 Å) Na–O bond lengths. Pd is bonded to six O atoms to form PdO6 octahedra that share edges with six equivalent NaO6 octahedra. All Pd–O bond lengths are 1.99 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Na and one Pd atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Na and one Pd atom.
