Abstract

The crystal structure of [Pd(NH3)4]C2O4 was determined from X-ray powder data. The crystals are triclinic with unit-cell parameters: a=7.0807(7) Å, b=7.0806(7) Å, c=3.8011(5) Å, α=91.910(1)°, β=98.665(1)°, γ=97.283(1)°, S.G.=P−1, Z=1, V=187.11 Å3. All non-hydrogen atoms were located from the Patterson map. The structure was refined by the Rietveld technique: Rpb=6.88, Rwp=6.51, RB=2.66. The crystal structure of [Pd(NH3)4]C2O4 is built from two types of elements: [Pd(NH3)4]2+ and C2O2−4. Cations [Pd(NH3)4]2+ form columns along c with distances (Pd–Pd)=3.8011 Å. C2O2−4 anions occupy places in the middle of the unit cell between layers of [Pd(NH3)4]2+. The compound is stable up to 200 °C and then decomposes, giving Pd powder.
