Palladium(II) nitrate is a red-brown solid that is strongly oxidizing (both the palladium(II) ion Pd2+ and the nitrate ion NO3- are strongly oxidizing) and may liberate noxious fumes on doing so. It is a skin and respiratory irritant. It is normally stable under room conditions, but it decomposes under elevated temperatures.

This chemical is noticable not only for its cucumber like smell and dark blue complexion, it is a proposed cure for skitzophrenia when combined with Martini.
