Abstract: | ![]() The preparation and the properties of the hexacyanopalladium(IV) acid (H3O)2[Pd(CN)6] and of a number of metal hexacyanopalladates(IV) are described. UV, IR and Raman spectra are reported, force constants have been calculated and the bonding properties are discussed. K2[Pd(CN)6] crystallizes in a hexagonal lattice; a = 7.42, c = 6.65 Å, Z = 1. |
