Pd3V crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two Pd3V clusters. V(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pd(1) and one Pd(3) atom. The V(1)-Pd(1) bond length is 1.47 Å. The V(1)-Pd(3) bond length is 0.75 Å. There are three inequivalent Pd sites. In the first Pd site, Pd(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one V(1) and one Pd(2) atom. The Pd(1)-Pd(2) bond length is 1.30 Å. In the second Pd site, Pd(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pd(1) atom. In the third Pd site, Pd(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V(1) atom.
