Bis(benzonitrile)palladium(II) bromide
Bis(benzonitrile)palladium(II) bromide (CAS 15003-43-7) is an organometallic palladium(II) complex with the linear formula 2(C6H5CN) - PdBr2 and a molecular weight of 472.47. In this homogeneous catalyst the two benzonitrile ligands are weakly held and readily displaced, making the compound a convenient, soluble Pd(II) source and precatalyst for ligand exchange and organic synthesis. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade reagent at a minimum assay of 95% for catalysis and laboratory use.

Soluble palladium(II) precursor
Serves as a readily soluble source of palladium(II) in organic solvents. The labile benzonitrile ligands are easily exchanged, allowing clean access to a wide range of phosphine, N-heterocyclic carbene and other palladium complexes.
Homogeneous catalysis and cross-coupling
Used as a precatalyst in homogeneous palladium-catalysed transformations, including carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions. It is typically combined in situ with suitable ligands to generate the active catalytic species.
Ligand substitution chemistry
The weakly bound nitrile ligands make this complex a useful starting material for ligand-exchange studies and for preparing defined palladium coordination compounds in research settings.
Research and method development
Applied in academic and industrial laboratories for catalyst screening, mechanistic studies and synthetic route development where a well-defined, soluble palladium(II) bromide source is required.
