Concerning the shape and location of the M(py)₄ fragments 1 and 2 are isostructural. The metal atoms occupy special positions in their unit cells with the result that four complex atoms have C₂ symmetry and four complex cations have C_i symmetry giving a total of Z = 8. In 1 two F^– ions complete an octahedral coordination around the Co atoms (Co–F 1.820(2) to 1.834(3) Å). In 2 the shortest Pd–F distance is 3.031(2) Å. This precludes the existence of Pd–F bonds. In 1 one can identify H₂F₃^– groups. In 2 there are larger aggregates, consisting of F^–, HF, and H₂O subunits, connected by H‐bridges. In spite of these differences, both complexes belong to the same type of structure, which may be of a common type M^x+(py)₄F_x · y HF · z H₂O.
