High-Purity Palladium(II) Chloride from Aure Chemical – Your Trusted Source
Palladium(II) chloride, PdCl₂, CAS No. 7647-10-1, is a fundamental anhydrous palladium(II) compound serving as one of the most versatile precursors in palladium chemistry. Supplied by Aure Chemical as a dark red to reddish-brown crystalline powder with high palladium content (approximately 59–60% Pd), this hygroscopic solid is highly reactive toward coordinating ligands and commonly used to generate active Pd(II) or Pd(0) species in solution. It is the preferred starting material for preparing palladium precatalysts employed in cross-coupling reactions (Suzuki, Heck, Sonogashira, Negishi), C–H activation, carbonylation, and allylic substitution, as well as for synthesizing organometallic complexes, thin-film deposition sources, and supported palladium catalysts. Its well-defined reactivity and purity make it indispensable in pharmaceutical API synthesis, fine chemicals, electronics, and advanced materials research. Aure Chemical ensures precise Pd assay, low impurity levels, and secure palladium sourcing to deliver reproducible performance for laboratory and industrial applications worldwide.
