Palladium disulfide is a chemical compound of palladium and sulfur with the chemical formula PdS2.[1]

Preparation

[edit]

Palladium disulfide is formed when palladium(II) sulfide is heated with an excess of sulfur.[1]

PdS + S → PdS2

However, some starting material may remain even after heating for many months. An alternative route involves heating palladium(II) chloride and excess sulfur to 450 °C in a sealed tube, then washing the crude product with carbon disulfide. This procedure yields PdS2 free of PdS.[2]

Structure

[edit]

PdS2 contains sulfur-sulfur bonds so it can be thought of as a disulfide that formally consists of S22− and Pd2+ ions, instead of S2- and Pd4+ ions.[3] It adopts a layered crystal structure that contains square planar palladium centres and trigonal pyramidal sulfur centres.[2]

[edit]

A variety of other compounds in the Pd-S system have been reported, including Pd4S, Pd2.8S, Pd2.2S and PdS.[2]
