BaPdCl4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cl(1) and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent Cl(1) and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and one Pd(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and one Pd(1) atom.
BaPdCl4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cl(1) and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms. There are two shorter (3.19 Å) and two longer (3.20 Å) Ba(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.21 Å) and two longer (3.23 Å) Ba(1)-Cl(2) bond lengths. Pd(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent Cl(1) and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. Both Pd(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths are 2.32 Å. Both Pd(1)-Cl(2) bond lengths are 2.31 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and one Pd(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and one Pd(1) atom.
