In a 2D square-planar coordination with four surrounding oxygen anions, Pd(II) ions in polyoxopalladates are diamagnetic with a large orbital contribution to the magnetic response as revealed by XANES and XMCD. Supported by atomic multiplet calculations the dependence of electronic and magnetic properties on 4d spin-orbit coupling, bond lengths, and delocalization of 4d electrons was investigated. We found that (i) four additional out-of-plane oxygen anions around Pd(II) lead to an effective 3D symmetry causing a paramagnetic response in external magnetic fields and (ii) in the crossover region between common diamagnetism and paramagnetism, the large spin-orbit coupling of Pd facilitates an unusual diamagnetic state modified by significant mixing. Furthermore, by measuring and analysing characteristic fine structures of the diamagnetic states in the XMCD spectrum, we overcome the common limitation of XMCD to ferro/ferrimagnetic and paramagnetic materials in external magnetic fields.
