Bis(acetonitrile)dichloropalladium(II)
Bis(acetonitrile)dichloropalladium(II) (CAS 14592-56-4; formula PdCl2·(CH3CN)2; molar mass 259.43 g/mol) is a homogeneous palladium(II) complex supplied as a research-grade reagent at 99% assay. The two labile acetonitrile ligands are readily displaced, making it a versatile, soluble palladium source and precatalyst for cross-coupling and related transformations in organic and organometallic synthesis. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a laboratory reagent for research and process-development use.

Palladium precatalyst for cross-coupling
Serves as a soluble palladium(II) source for catalysed carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions. The labile acetonitrile ligands are easily exchanged for phosphines and other donors to generate active catalytic species in situ.
Organometallic synthesis and ligand exchange
Acts as a convenient starting material for preparing other palladium complexes, since the weakly bound acetonitrile ligands are readily replaced by a wide range of ligands. This makes it useful for assembling defined catalyst systems on the bench.
Homogeneous catalysis research
Used in academic and industrial laboratories investigating palladium-catalysed methodology and reaction development. Its solubility in common organic solvents supports homogeneous reaction conditions.
Process and method development
Employed during route scouting and process chemistry where a well-defined, soluble palladium(II) precursor is required. Supplied at a consistent 99% assay to support reproducible experimental work.
