Palladium (IV) fluoride, also known as palladium tetrafluoride, is the chemical compound of palladium and fluorine with the chemical formula PdF₄. The palladium atoms in PdF₄ are in the +4 oxidation state. ^{[2] [3]}

Synthesis

Palladium tetrafluoride has been prepared by reacting palladium(II,IV) fluoride with fluorine gas at pressures around 7 atm and at 300 °C for several days. ^[1]

Structure

Crystals are composed of octahedral PdF6 units, with four fluorides from each octahedron shared (bridging between octahedra). ^[4]

Reactivity

PdF₄ is a strong oxidising agent and undergoes rapid hydrolysis in moist air. ^[1]
