BaPdS2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent S(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent S(1) atoms. S(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1) and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing SBa4Pd2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-63°.
