Palladium(II) perchlorate


Palladium perchlorate is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula Pd2. It is a light-brown solid produced by the reaction of dichlorine hexoxide and palladium(II) chloride followed by heating at 60 °C in a vacuum:
Aqueous solutions of palladium perchlorate can be produced by the addition of perchloric acid to a solution of palladium(II) nitrate.

Structure

Solid anhydrous palladium perchlorate consists of a pair of bidentate perchlorate ligands attached to the central palladium atom.
