Palladium tetrafluoride

Palladium (IV) fluoride, also known as palladium tetrafluoride, is the chemical compound of palladium and fluorine with the chemical formula PdF<sub>4</sub>. The palladium atoms in PdF<sub>4</sub> are in the +4 oxidation state.

Structure

Crystals are composed of octahedral PdF6 units, with four fluorides from each octahedron shared (bridging between octahedra).

Synthesis

Palladium tetrafluoride has been prepared by reacting palladium(II,IV) fluoride with fluorine gas at pressures around 7 atm and at 300&nbsp;°C for several days.

Reactivity

PdF<sub>4</sub> is a strong oxidising agent and undergoes rapid hydrolysis in moist air.
