PdAl2Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. Pd(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pd(1) and eight equivalent Al(1) atoms. Both Pd(1)-Pd(1) bond lengths are 2.84 Å. There are a spread of Pd(1)-Al(1) bond distances ranging from 2.42-3.21 Å. Al(1) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Pd(1) and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.11 Å) and one longer (2.76 Å) Al(1)-Cl(1) bond length. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Al(1) atoms.
