Potassium hexachloropalladate(IV) is an inorganic chemical compound with the chemical formula K2[PdCl6].[2][3]

Synthesis

Dissolution of potassium tetrachloropalladate(II) in aqua regia:

3K2[PdCl4] + 6HCl + 2HNO3 → 3K2[PdCl6] + 2NO + 4H2O

Passing chlorine through a suspension of potassium tetrachloropalladate(II) in a solution of potassium chloride:[4]

K2[PdCl4] + Cl2 → K2[PdCl6]

Physical properties

The compound forms red-brown crystals of cubic crystal system.[5]

Poorly soluble in water.

Chemical properties

The compound decomposes when heated or in a hot concentrated hydrochloric acid solution:

K2[PdCl6] → K2[PdCl4] + Cl2

Uses

The compound is used in photography.[6] Also used as an organic reagent and pharmaceutical intermediate.[7]
