The material described by PdGa2I8 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two PdGa2I8 clusters. Pd(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent I(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one I(2), one I(3), and two equivalent I(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent I sites. In the first I site, I(1) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Pd(1) and one Ga(1) atom. In the second I site, I(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(1) atom. In the third I site, I(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
