Synthesis

Palladium tetrafluoride has been prepared by reacting palladium(II,IV) fluoride with fluorine gas at pressures around 7 atm and at 300 °C for several days.^[1]

Structure

Crystals are composed of octahedral PdF6 units, with four fluorides from each octahedron shared (bridging between octahedra).^[4]

Reactivity

PdF₄ is a strong oxidising agent and undergoes rapid hydrolysis in moist air.^[1]
