Bis(benzonitrile)palladium(II) chloride
Bis(benzonitrile)palladium(II) chloride (CAS 14220-64-5; (C6H5CN)2PdCl2; molar mass 383.57 g/mol) is an orange-yellow palladium(II) complex bearing two labile benzonitrile ligands. The weakly bound nitriles are readily displaced, making it a convenient, soluble palladium(II) source and homogeneous precatalyst for organometallic and organic synthesis. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade reagent at a typical assay of 95% for catalysis, ligand-exchange and coordination chemistry. It melts at about 131 degrees C.

Homogeneous palladium precatalyst
Serves as a soluble palladium(II) source whose labile benzonitrile ligands are easily exchanged for phosphines and other donors, generating active catalysts in situ for a range of palladium-mediated transformations.
Ligand exchange and complex synthesis
Acts as a versatile starting material in coordination chemistry, where the two benzonitrile groups are displaced to prepare well-defined phosphine, N-heterocyclic carbene and other palladium(II) complexes.
Catalysis in chemical synthesis
Used in homogeneous catalysis and chemical synthesis as a palladium catalyst or catalyst precursor, supporting carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming methodology in research laboratories.
Research and method development
Employed as a reference palladium(II) reagent in academic and process-development studies of reaction mechanism, catalyst design and organometallic reactivity.
