Materials Data on Pd(NO4)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Pd(NO4)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four Pd(NO4)2 clusters. Pd is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O atoms. There is two shorter (1.76 Å) and two longer (2.13 Å) Pd–O bond length. N is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms. There is two shorter (1.24 Å) and one longer (1.33 Å) N–O bond length. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pd atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Pd and one N atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N atom.
