Dichloro(norbornadiene)platinum(II) (Cat No.: M058394) is an organometallic complex with the formula PtCl₂(nbd), where nbd denotes norbornadiene, a strained diene ligand. This square planar platinum(II) complex is commonly used as a catalyst precursor in organic and organometallic synthesis, particularly in cycloaddition and cross-coupling reactions. The norbornadiene ligand provides π-bonding stabilization while being labile enough for substitution, allowing access to reactive platinum intermediates. Its utility in homogeneous catalysis and coordination chemistry makes it valuable for developing new catalytic systems and fine chemical transformations.
