carbanide,chloropalladium(1+),(1Z,5Z)-cycloocta-1,5-diene CAS:63936-85-6

The Palladium(II) Chloro complex [(C8H12)(Cl)Pd] is formed by coordination between PdCl4 and trans-(1R,5S)-cycloocta-1,5-diene molecules through dative bonds. The resulting product contains one dienyl ligand bound to each of the four metal centers via eta-coordination. This complex possesses high thermal stability due to strong intermolecular forces within the structure. Its application lies primarily in catalytic processes involving cross coupling reaction. For instance, this species facilitates C–C bond formation during Suzuki Coupling Reaction that involves joining sp2 hybridized carbon atoms together using boronic acids as nucleophiles. The resultant new bond produced enhances the properties of materials used in electronic devices thus making them more efficient. Furthermore, this catalyst finds application in Sonogashira coupling reaction where sp hybridized atoms are coupled together using terminal alkynes leading to formation of C–C bond thereby forming new functional groups that have potential applications in various fields including drug synthesis and material science.
