Chemical Properties

Yellow powder

Uses

Application Guide for Palladium Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions

Reactant involved in:

• Reactions where it plays a role as the metal source due to weakly coordinated acetonitrile ligands

Precursor for:

• Synthesis of dendritic SCS-pincer palladium complexes
• Palladium complexes of click ligands
• Dipalladium catalysts for use in Heck cross-coupling, Suzuki cross-coupling, and aldehyde olefination

Uses

Tetrakis(acetonitrile)palladium Bis(tetrafluoroborate) is used to prepare an α-Diimine-transition metal complex, which is used as a catalyst for polymerization of olefins. It is also a catalyst used in cross coupling reaction for C-C, C-O, and C-N bond formation.

General Description
