The material described by Rb2PdI6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one I(1), one I(2), one I(3), two equivalent I(4), and three equivalent I(5) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded to one I(1), one I(3), two equivalent I(4), and two equivalent I(5) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing PdI6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 19°. There are five inequivalent I sites. In the first I site, I(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one Pd(1), and one I(2) atom. In the second I site, I(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one I(1), and one I(3) atom. In the third I site, I(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one Pd(1), and one I(2) atom. In the fourth I site, I(4) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the fifth I site, I(5) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rb(1) and one Pd(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
