Palladium(II) acetylacetonate (Pd(acac)₂) was used in the following studies:

Typical high-temperature organic solution phase protocol for the preparation of monodisperse CuPd alloy nanoparticles (NPs).
Preparation of [(NHC)Pd(acac)L] (where L=Me, NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes. These complexes efficiently catalyze the Heck reaction of activated aryl bromides.
As catalyst in the decarboxylative cross-coupling of arylcarboxylic acids with aryl halides.

What are the applications of Application

Palladium(II) acetylacetonate is a catalyst for decarboxylative cross-coupling reactions

General Description

Palladium(II) acetylacetonate (Pd(acac)₂) is a metal-organic complex. Sublimation of Pd(acac)₂ has been investigated by thermogravimetry and XRD. The temperature range for the sublimation of Pd(acac)₂, without undergoing thermal decomposition, was determined to be 100-160°C in the presence of inert gas helium.

Flammability and Explosibility

Highly flammable

Purification Methods

It can be recrystallised from *C6H6/pet ether and sublimes in vacuo. It is soluble in heptane, *C6H6 (1.2% at 20o, 2.2 at 40o), toluene (0.56% at 20o, 1.4% at 40o) and acetylacetone (1.2% at 20o, 0.05% at 40o).
