(1,1'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene)palladium(II) dichloride

[1,1'‑Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium(II) dichloride is a palladium complex containing the bidentate ligand 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf), abbreviated as [(dppf)PdCl₂]. This commercially available material can be prepared by reacting dppf with a suitable nitrile complex of palladium dichloride:^[1]

dppf + PdCl₂(RCN)₂ â†’ (dppf)PdCl₂ + 2 RCN (RCN = CH₃CN or C₆H₅CN)

A mechanochemical approach for the synthesis of this compound has also recently been reported. The method involves the direct use of PdCl₂ with the exact amount of dppf, obtaining the final complex in 60 minutes.^[2]

The compound is popularly used for palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions,^[3][4] such as the Buchwald–Hartwig amination^[5] and the reductive homocoupling of aryl halides.^[6]
