Materials Data on Pd(PbCl3)2 by Materials Project
Pd(PbCl3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pd2+ is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four Cl1- atoms. There are two shorter (2.33 Å) and two longer (2.34 Å) Pd–Cl bond lengths. Pb2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.54 Å. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Pb2+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pd2+ and three equivalent Pb2+ atoms. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Pd2+ and two equivalent Pb2+ atoms.
