Dichloro(ethylenediamine)palladium(II)
CAS 15020-99-2
Pd(en)Cl₂ is a stable chelated palladium(II) complex — the ethylenediamine ring locks the coordination geometry, making it a well-defined reference compound in palladium coordination chemistry and a controlled Pd(II) source in plating and materials work.

Where Pd(en)Cl₂ is used
Coordination chemistry reference compound
The rigid chelate and clean NMR signature make it a standard substrate in studies of substitution kinetics, DNA-binding models and square-planar Pd(II) structural chemistry.
Controlled Pd(II) source
The chelating diamine moderates palladium reactivity, useful where a fully labile salt such as PdCl₂ would deposit metal prematurely in plating or materials synthesis.
Precursor to mixed-ligand complexes
A defined starting point for stepwise ligand substitution chemistry on a locked cis geometry.

Frequently asked questions
Can you supply NMR or structural confirmation?
Yes — ¹H NMR conformity data can be included with the COA for research customers who need structural confirmation alongside the assay.
How is pricing structured?
Quotes reference the day's palladium fixing on assayed contained metal plus a stated conversion charge, lockable at order confirmation.
What documentation is included?
Every lot ships with a certificate of analysis stating assayed metal content, plus an English SDS. ICP trace-metal panels are available on request.
Do you take back spent material?
Yes — residues, spent catalyst and off-spec lots are assayed on receipt and the recovered palladium credited against your next order.
