Hf2PdH2 is alpha bismuth trifluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Hf(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd(1) and four equivalent H(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Hf(1) atoms. H(1) is bonded to four equivalent Hf(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing HHf4 tetrahedra.
