Organopalladium compounds

any organometallic compound having a carbon–palladium bond

Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) or [Pd2(dba)3] is an organopalladium compound. The compound is a complex of palladium(0) with dibenzylideneacetone (dba). It is a dark-purple/brown solid, which is modestly soluble in organic solvents. Because the dba ligands are easily displaced, the complex is used as a homogeneous catalyst in organic synthesis.

Dichloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)palladium is the organopalladium compound with the formula PdCl2(C8H12) where C8H12 is cycloocta-1,5-diene (cod) or abbreviated PdCl2(cod). It is a yellow solid that is soluble in chloroform. According to X-ray crystallography, the Pd center is square planar. This complex can be synthesized by reaction of tetrachloropalladate in hydrochloric acid with cycloocta-1,5-diene. A mechanochemical synthesis combines PdCl2 and cod.
