Na2Pd(C2O5)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. Na(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(4), and three equivalent O(5) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent O(2) and two equivalent O(3) atoms. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one O(2) and one O(4) atom. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one O(3) and one O(5) atom. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Na(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Pd(1) and one C(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Pd(1) and one C(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Na(1) and one C(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Na(1) and one C(2) atom.
