PdS crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/m space group. There are three inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent S(1) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent S(1) atoms. In the third Pd site, Pd(3) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent S(1) atoms. S(1) is bonded to one Pd(2), one Pd(3), and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SPd4 trigonal pyramids.
PdS crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/m space group. There are three inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent S(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.35 Å) and two longer (2.36 Å) Pd(1)-S(1) bond lengths. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent S(1) atoms. All Pd(2)-S(1) bond lengths are 2.36 Å. In the third Pd site, Pd(3) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent S(1) atoms. All Pd(3)-S(1) bond lengths are 2.33 Å. S(1) is bonded to one Pd(2), one Pd(3), and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SPd4 trigonal pyramids.
