Cs2PdP2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. There are two inequivalent Cs sites. In the first Cs site, Cs(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) and six equivalent P(1) atoms. In the second Cs site, Cs(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent P(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs(1) and four equivalent P(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cs(1), three equivalent Cs(2), two equivalent Pd(1), and one P(1) atom.
Cs2PdP2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. There are two inequivalent Cs sites. In the first Cs site, Cs(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) and six equivalent P(1) atoms. Both Cs(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 3.55 Å. There are two shorter (3.69 Å) and four longer (3.71 Å) Cs(1)-P(1) bond lengths. In the second Cs site, Cs(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent P(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.62 Å) and four longer (3.92 Å) Cs(2)-P(1) bond lengths. Pd(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs(1) and four equivalent P(1) atoms. All Pd(1)-P(1) bond lengths are 2.41 Å. P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cs(1), three equivalent Cs(2), two equivalent Pd(1), and one P(1) atom. The P(1)-P(1) bond length is 2.16 Å.
