Abstract
The difference electron density has been evaluated for potassium tetrachloropalladate, K 2 PdCl 4 , using synchrotron radiation at 0.7 and 0.9 A at room temperature. A similar data set was measured with Mo Kα radiation. The Δp maps for the synchrotron data sets are consistent, and agree approximately with the Mo Kα map away from the Pd nucleus. There is marked depletion of electrons near the Pd core, and substantial movement of electron density near the structural cavities. The Pd-atom charge is approximately+2, but the K-atom charge is significantly negative
