The structure of palladium(IV) telluride has been determined by single-crystal X-ray methods. The structure type is Cd(OH)2-(C6). PdTe2 is a layered structure with the layers stacking along the [001] direction. Pd4+ cations are octahedrally coordinated. The layers are formed by the octahedra sharing edges along the [100], [010] and [110] directions. The Pd-Te bond distance is 2.693 (2) Å.
