Ammonium hexachloropalladate is an inorganic chemical compound with the chemical formula (NH4)2PdCl6.[1][2]

Synthesis

Ammonium hexachloropalladate can be made by passing chlorine through a suspension of ammonium tetrachloropalladate(II) in ammonium chloride solution:

(NH4)2[PdCl4] + Cl2 → (NH4)2[PdCl6]

The compound is precipitated from the palladium(IV) chloride solution with adding ammonium chloride:[3]

PdCl6 + 2NH4Cl → (NH4)2[PdCl6] + 2HCl

Physical properties

Ammonium hexachloropalladate forms red-brown crystals[4] of cubic system, space group Fm3m, cell parameters a = 0.983 nm, Z = 4.[5]

It is slightly soluble in water.

Chemical properties

The compound decomposes upon heating to form ammonium tetrachloropalladate(II):

(NH4)2[PdCl6] → (NH4)2[PdCl4] + Cl2
