The synthesis and crystal chemistry of six new complex pa ladium oxides are described. The blackPbPdO has been tentatively indexed on a hexagonal basis witha = 10.902A andc = 4.654A. Sr PdO is body-centered orthorhombic witha = 3.970A,b = 3.544A, and c = 12.84A; the structure proposed for this compound is closely related to the KNiF structure. Three new black compounds of the MePdO type have been synthesized. All three have the cubic NaPtO structure with unit cell constants a = 5.826A for SrPdO, a = 5.747A for CaPdO, anda = 5.742A for CdPd O . In the system Mg-Pd-O, a spinel phase is formed(a = 8.501A) whose stoichiometry is believed to be MgPdO. 2

Tn our recent work on the systems Rh-O, Pt-O (5,7), and Au-O (5,6) -*· at high oxygen pressures, we prepared new compounds in all three systems. We conducted a similar study in the system Pd-O, but were not able to synthesize any new binary oxides of palladium. The divalent oxide, PdO, appears to be stable even at high oxygen pressures. Our work on the platinum oxides was recently extended to some ternary systems, and we have already reported on the inverse spinels Mg Pt0 , Zn Pt0 (10), on Cd Pt0 with the Sr Pb0 structure (9), on the tetragonal Cui_ Pt O, and the orthorhombic CuPt 0 (8). Compounds of the type MePt O with Me = Cd, Zn, Mg, Ni were synthesized at 800°-900°C and oxygen pressures near 200 arm. These phases are described in greater detail by Hoekstra, Siegel, and Gallagher (2). We encountered some difficulty in preparing these compounds in a pure state. Apparently, the maximum temperatures attainable with our equip2

The interatomic distances for C d P d s O * , CaPd C>4, and S r P d 0 4 are believed to be accurate to within db 0.002A. This small error is a function only of the accuracy of the do cell edge measurements, since there are no variable positional parameters in the a

New Palladium Oxides

pounds, the palladium atoms are apparently completely ordered in the (6c) sites. We have found no x-ray evidence for any noticeable disorder between the two different cations in CaPd 0 . Because of the strong preference of Pd for square planar coordination, it can be assumed that no such disorder exists in SrPd 0 and CdPd 0 , although this could not be proved easily by x-ray methods since the atomic scattering factors for Sr, Cd, and Pd are very similar. Mg Pd0 . When Mg(OH) -Pd black mixtures are heated at high oxygen pressures—e.g., at 900 °C and 200 atm of oxygen—a poorly crystallized spinel phase is formed with a = 8.501A. We have not yet succeeded in preparing this spinel in a pure state, since this phase is always accompanied by some unreacted MgO and PdO. From crystal-chemical considerations and from the x-ray intensities, we have tentatively assigned the stoichiometry Mg Pd0 to this phase. Mg Pd0 is apparently an inverse spinel with Pd occupying octahedral sites. The unit cell constant for Mg Pd0 , a = 8.501A, is slightly smaller than the corresponding value for Mg Pt0 , a = 8.521 A (10), owing to the slightly smaller ionic radius for Pd (17). 3
