Abstract

The synthesis of a square planar cationic Pd(II) complex containing the acetamide ligand is described. The complex has been characterised by X-ray diffraction, leading to one of the rare examples of a crystal structure showing an acetamide molecule coordinated to a metal centre and, to the best of our knowledge, the first one with palladium. This complex may be relevant to catalytic reactions, such as the palladium-catalysed amidocarbonylation, in which transient species with O-coordinated acetamide can be formed.
