LithiuM tetrachloropalladate(II) can be used as catalyst for coupling of aryl- and vinylmercurials with alkenes and carbon monoxide; can cyclopalladate many compounds; can oxidize alkenes.

LithiuM tetrachloropalladate(II) is very often prepared in situ from 1 equiv of Palladium(II) Chloride and 2 equiv of Lithium Chloride in the appropriate solvent (MeOH, EtOH, MeCO2H, THF).

LithiuM tetrachloropalladate(II) is hygroscopic and should be stored in the absence of moisture
