To highlight the power of mechanochemistry to oxidize metal ions leading to the discovery of newer phases, Ammonium fluoride (cas 12125-01-8) mediated synthesis of A2PdF6 (A = Rb, K) has been carried out. Grinding reactions of ammonium fluoride with palladium (II) acetate and further cation exchange with AF (A = Rb, K) were closely monitored ex-situ characterizations such as high resolution powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy measurements. For the reaction involving RbF, Rb2PdF6 possessing K2PtCl6 type structure was confirmed from the Rietveld refinement of PXRD pattern, high resolution transmission emission microscopy (HR-TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) measurements. Elemental composition and oxidation state of palladium in Rb2PdF6 were examined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. Ligand to metal charge transfer and d-d transitions of Pd (IV) were present in the UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectrum of Rb2PdF6 with a band gap of 2.67 eV estimated using the Kubelka–Munk function. Its role as a catalyst to degrade the aqueous dye solutions (Methylene Blue, Malachite Green, Rhodamine-6G and Rhodamine-B) under UV–vis radiation has been evaluated along with their kinetics. The catalyst was active after four cycles of use. The reduction of Pd4+ to Pd0 by NaBH4 has been favourably used for the efficient and rapid conversion of highly carcinogenic, toxic, mutagenic Cr6+ to less toxic Cr3+. K2PdF6 possessing cubic K2PtCl6-type structure has also been synthesized for the first time by this method which presented yet another example for the alteration of reaction landscapes by mechanical forces.
