S. Bouquillon et al., Synthesis and characterization of monomeric and dimeric palladium(II)-ammonium complexes: their use for the catalytic oxidation of alcohols, POLYHEDRON, 18(26), 1999, pp. 3511-3516
The addition of quaternary ammonium salts, R4NX, to PdCl2 leads to mononucl
ear anionic complexes: (R4N)(2)PdX4. A dinuclear complex, (n-Bu4N)(2)Pd2Cl6
, has been characterized from the crystallization of the corresponding mono
meric species under controlled conditions. These complexes revealed a simil
ar efficiency as mixtures of PdCl2 and R4NX for the catalytic oxidation of
alcohols using 1,2-dichloroethane as both solvent and stoichiometric oxidan
