C. Amatore et al., Reversible formation of a cationic palladium(II) hydride [HPd(PPh3)(2)](+)in the oxidative addition of acetic or formic acid to palladium(0) in DMF, EUR J INORG, (8), 2000, pp. 1855-1859
The oxidative addition of acetic or formic acid to Pd-0(PPh3)(4) in DMF aff
ords a cationic palladium(II) hydride, [trans-HPd(PPh3)(2)(DMF)](+), with a
cetate or formate as the counter anion. The two reactions are reversible. T
he equilibrium and kinetic constants of the oxidative additions have been d
etermined.
