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.
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.
Structure
Crystals are composed of octahedral PdF6 units, with four fluorides from each octahedron shared (bridging between octahedra).
Reactivity
PdF4 is a strong oxidising agent and undergoes rapid hydrolysis in moist air.
