K2PdN2(O2Cl)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. K(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2), three equivalent O(1), and three equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing KCl3O5 hexagonal bipyramids. Pd(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent N(1) and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Pd(1), one O(1), and one O(2) atom. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent K(1) and one N(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent K(1) and one N(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded to three equivalent K(1) and one Pd(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ClK3Pd trigonal pyramids.
