Palladium(II) perchlorate is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula Pd(ClO₄)₂. It is a light-brown solid produced by the reaction of dichlorine hexoxide and palladium(II) chloride followed by heating at 60 °C in a vacuum:^[1]

3 PdCl₂ + 4 Cl₂O₆ → 3 Pd(ClO₄)₂ + 4 Cl₂↑

A solution of palladium(II) perchlorate can be produced by the addition of perchloric acid to a solution of palladium(II) nitrate.^[2]

Structure[edit]

Palladium(II) perchlorate consists of two bidentate perchlorate ligands attached to the central palladium atom.^[1]
