PdF2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded to six equivalent F(2) atoms to form corner-sharing PdF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 60°. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded to two equivalent F(1) and four equivalent F(2) atoms to form corner-sharing PdF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 60-61°. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Pd(2) atoms. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Pd(1) and two equivalent Pd(2) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 60°. All Pd(1)-F(2) bond lengths are 2.16 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded to two equivalent F(1) and four equivalent F(2) atoms to form corner-sharing PdF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 60-61°. Both Pd(2)-F(1) bond lengths are 2.18 Å. There are two shorter (2.18 Å) and two longer (2.19 Å) Pd(2)-F(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Pd(2) atoms. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Pd(1) and two equivalent Pd(2) atoms.
