CsPd2Cl5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Cl(3), two equivalent Cl(1), and six equivalent Cl(2) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Cl(2), one Cl(3), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Cs(1) and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Pd(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ClCs3Pd tetrahedra. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Cs(1) and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
CsPd2Cl5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Cl(3), two equivalent Cl(1), and six equivalent Cl(2) atoms. The Cs(1)-Cl(3) bond length is 3.93 Å. Both Cs(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths are 3.80 Å. There are four shorter (3.54 Å) and two longer (3.57 Å) Cs(1)-Cl(2) bond lengths. Pd(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Cl(2), one Cl(3), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. The Pd(1)-Cl(2) bond length is 2.28 Å. The Pd(1)-Cl(3) bond length is 2.31 Å. There is one shorter (2.33 Å) and one longer (2.34 Å) Pd(1)-Cl(1) bond length. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Cs(1) and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms.
