Bis(acetonitrile)palladium dichloride
open-in-new
<p>Bis(acetonitrile)palladium dichloride is the <a href="/facts/Coordination_complex/1tCyeQUm">coordination complex</a> with the formula PdCl2(NCCH3)2. It is the adduct of two acetonitrile <a href="/facts/Ligand/6etB3qeW">ligands</a> with <a href="/facts/Palladium(II)_chloride/ECyezouw">palladium(II) chloride</a>. It is a yellow-brown solid that is soluble in organic solvents. The compound is a reagent and a catalyst for reactions that require soluble Pd(II). The compound is similar to <a href="/facts/Bis(benzonitrile)palladium_dichloride/rbv1W5Kw">bis(benzonitrile)palladium dichloride</a>. It reacts with <a href="/facts/1%2c5-cyclooctadiene/NjXGaL8t">1,5-cyclooctadiene</a> to give <a href="/facts/Dichloro(1%2c5-cyclooctadiene)palladium/Dv5qNXF2">dichloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)palladium</a>. </p>
