title: Palladium(IV) in an Oxoanionic Environment: The XeF2 Assisted Synthesis of [Pd(S2 O7 )3 ](2.).
abstract: For the first time tetravalent palladium is detected, coordinated exclusively by simple oxoanions. Stabilization was achieved by formation of the [Pd(S2 O7 )3 ](2-) complex in which three chelating disulfate groups surround the metal atom. The salt K2 [Pd(S2 O7 )3 ] could only be obtained if the reaction of K2 [PdCl6 ] and neat SO3 was performed in the presence of XeF2 .
