K2PdN2(O2Cl)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. K(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded to four equivalent N(1) and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form edge-sharing PdN4Cl2 octahedra. N(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent K(1) and one N(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K(1) and one Pd(1) atom.
K2PdN2(O2Cl)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. K(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are a spread of K(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.92-3.09 Å. There are two shorter (3.17 Å) and two longer (3.26 Å) K(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths. Pd(1) is bonded to four equivalent N(1) and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form edge-sharing PdN4Cl2 octahedra. All Pd(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 2.59 Å. Both Pd(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths are 2.33 Å. N(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. Both N(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.25 Å. O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent K(1) and one N(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K(1) and one Pd(1) atom.
