Synthesis
editAmmonium 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
editAmmonium 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
editThe compound decomposes upon heating to form ammonium tetrachloropalladate(II):
- (NH4)2[PdCl6] → (NH4)2[PdCl4] + Cl2
