PdAs2 is Pyrite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. Pd(1) is bonded to six equivalent As(1) atoms to form PdAs6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Pd(1)As6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent As(1)AsPd3 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 64°. As(1) is bonded to three equivalent Pd(1) and one As(1) atom to form AsAsPd3 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Pd(1)As6 octahedra and corners with fifteen equivalent As(1)AsPd3 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 78°.
