Preparation
    
Palladium(II) sulfide is formed when hydrogen sulfide is passed through an aqueous solution containing palladium in the +2 oxidation state:[2]
- Pd2+ + H2S → PdS + 2H+
 
Berzelius reacted palladium directly with sulfur to produce palladium(II) sulfide in 1813:[4]
- Pd + S → PdS
 
Structure
    
The crystal structure of PdS contains approximately square planar palladium centres and tetrahedral sulfur centres.[1]
Reactivity
    
If palladium(II) sulfide is heated with an excess of sulfur, palladium disulfide is formed:[2]
- PdS + S → PdS2
 
Related compounds
    
A variety of other compounds in the Pd-S system have been reported, including Pd4S, Pd2.8S, Pd2.2S and PdS2.[4] The mineral Braggite has the composition (Pt, Pd, Ni)S and is isomorphous with PdS.[3]
