Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) or [Pd2(dba)3] is an

homogeneous catalyst in organic synthesis.[1]

Preparation and structure

Pd2(dba)3

First reported in 1970,[2] it is prepared from dibenzylideneacetone and sodium tetrachloropalladate. Because it is commonly recrystallized from chloroform, the complex is often supplied as the adduct [Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3].[1] The purity of samples can be variable.[3]

In [Pd2(dba)3], the pair of Pd atoms are separated by 320 

pm but are tied together by dba units.[4] The Pd(0) centres are bound to the alkene parts of the dba ligands
.

Applications

[Pd2(dba)3] is used as a source of soluble Pd(0), in particular as a

Related Pd(0) complexes are [Pd(dba)2][6] and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0).
