Ba(PdP)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Pd(1) and eight equivalent P(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ba(1), four equivalent Pd(1), and four equivalent P(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing PdBa4P4Pd4 cuboctahedra. P(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba(1), four equivalent Pd(1), and one P(1) atom.
