Bis(2-hydroxyethanaminium) tetrachloridopalladate(II)

In the title compound, (C2H8NO)2[PdCl4], 2-hydroxyethanaminium cations and tetrachloridopalladate(II) dianions crystallize in a 2:1 ratio with the anion residing on a crystallographic inversion center. The cations and anions are linked in a complex three-dimensional framework by three types of strong hydrogen bonds (N—H O, N—H Cl, and O—H Cl), which form various ring and chain patterns of up to the ternary graph-set level.
