Palladium(II) fluoride, also known as palladium difluoride, is the chemical compound of palladium and fluorine with the formula PdF₂.

Synthesis

PdF₂ is prepared by refluxing palladium(II,IV) fluoride, Pd, with selenium tetrafluoride, SeF₄.

Pd + SeF₄ → 2PdF₂ + SeF₆

Structure and paramagnetism

Like its lighter congener nickel(II) fluoride, PdF₂ adopts a rutile-type crystal structure, containing octahedrally coordinated palladium, which has the electronic configuration t
_2g e
_g. This configuration causes PdF₂ to be paramagnetic due to two unpaired electrons, one in each e_g-symmetry orbital of palladium.

Applications

Palladium fluoride is an insoluble powder used in infrared optical sensors, and in situations where reactivity to oxygen makes palladium oxide unsuitable.
