Dichloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)palladium(II) (Cat No.: M060308), with the formula PdCl₂(COD), is a square planar organopalladium complex featuring palladium(II) coordinated to two chloride ligands and a 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) ligand. It appears as a yellow crystalline solid and serves as a versatile precursor in homogeneous catalysis. Its labile ligands make it ideal for synthesizing a variety of palladium complexes used in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Heck, and Stille. This compound is widely employed in academic and industrial research for fine chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis.
