Pd(CN)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Pd(1) is bonded to two equivalent C(1) and four equivalent N(1) atoms to form edge-sharing PdC2N4 octahedra. C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Pd(1) and one N(1) atom. N(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) and one C(1) atom.
