Palladium(II) fluoride, also known as palladium difluoride, is the chemical compound of palladium and fluorine with the formula PdF2.
Synthesis
PdF2 is prepared by refluxing palladium(II,IV) fluoride, PdII[PdIVF6], with selenium tetrafluoride, SeF4.
:Pd[PdF6] + SeF4 → 2PdF2 + SeF6
Structure and paramagnetism
Like its lighter congener nickel(II) fluoride, PdF2 adopts a rutile-type crystal structure,{{ cite journal | first1 = B. | last1 = Bachmann | first2 = B.

This configuration causes PdF2 to be paramagnetic{{Greenwood&Earnshaw2nd|pages=1152–1153}} due to two unpaired electrons, one in each eg-symmetry orbital of palladium.
Applications
Palladium fluoride is an insoluble powder used in infrared optical sensors,{{cite web|url=https://www.americanelements.com/palladium-fluoride-13444-96-7|title=American_Elements.com}} and in situations where reactivity to oxygen makes palladium oxide unsuitable.
