PdCdF4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Pd(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(2) and four equivalent F(1) atoms to form PdF6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Pd(1)F6 octahedra and corners with eight equivalent Cd(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 59-62°. Cd(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(1) and four equivalent F(2) atoms to form CdF6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cd(1)F6 octahedra and corners with eight equivalent Pd(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 59-62°. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) and one Cd(1) atom. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Pd(1) and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms.
