context_page_description: Bis(benzonitrile)palladium dichloride is the coordination complex with the formula PdCl₂(NCC₆H₅)₂. It is the adduct of two benzonitrile ligands with palladium(II) chloride. It is a yellow-brown solid that is soluble in organic solvents. The compound is a reagent and a precatalyst for reactions that require soluble Pd(II). A closely related compound is bispalladium dichloride.
  The complex is prepared by dissolving PdCl₂ in warm benzonitrile. The PhCN ligands are labile, and the complex reverts to PdCl₂ in noncoordinating solvents. According to X-ray crystallography, the two PhCN ligands are mutually trans.

The compound is a reagent and a precatalyst for reactions that require soluble Pd(II).  A closely related compound is bis(acetonitrile)palladium dichloride.
  The complex is prepared by dissolving PdCl₂ in warm benzonitrile. The PhCN ligands are labile, and the complex reverts to PdCl₂ in noncoordinating solvents.  According to X-ray crystallography, the two PhCN ligands are mutually trans.
