Pd(PbCl3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Pd(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent Cl(2) and two equivalent Cl(3) atoms. Pb(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cl(2), two equivalent Cl(3), and three equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Pb(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pd(1) and two equivalent Pb(1) atoms. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Pd(1) and two equivalent Pb(1) atoms.
