Precious metal compounds

Palladium(II) acetate is the most widely used palladium precatalyst in organic synthesis: Suzuki–Miyaura, Heck, Buchwald–Hartwig, Sonogashira, Negishi and Stille couplings, C–H activation and functionalisation, and Wacker-type oxidations. It is also the usual starting point for Pd nanoparticles, supported palladium catalysts and palladacycles. Supplied as the pure trimer, free of the nitrite-containing impurity, with a lot-specific palladium assay.

Grade

Potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II) is a ruby-red, water-soluble platinum(II) salt and the standard starting material for platinum(II) coordination chemistry: cisplatin and other platinum anticancer complexes, Zeise's salt, platinum phosphine and diimine complexes, platinum porphyrins and phosphorescent emitters. It is also used for platinum nanoparticles and shape-controlled nanocrystals, Pt/C catalysts and platinum plating baths. A respiratory and skin sensitiser: handle only with dust containment. Approximately 47% platinum by mass; supplied with a lot-specific assay.
