KPd2O3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. K(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. In the second Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to two equivalent K(1), one Pd(2), and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OK2Pd3 trigonal bipyramids.
KPd2O3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. K(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.66 Å) and three longer (2.77 Å) K(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. All Pd(2)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.04 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. All Pd(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.04 Å. O(1) is bonded to two equivalent K(1), one Pd(2), and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OK2Pd3 trigonal bipyramids.
