Materials Data on PdC2ClO2 by Materials Project
PdCl(CO)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of thirty-two formaldehyde molecules and eight PdCl clusters. In each PdCl cluster, Pd4+ is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.55 Å) and one longer (2.57 Å) Pd–Cl bond lengths. Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Pd4+ atoms.
