Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (sometimes called quatrotriphenylphosphine palladium) is the chemical compound [Pd(P(C 6 H 5) 3) 4], often abbreviated Pd(PPh 3) 4, or rarely PdP 4. It is a bright yellow crystalline solid that becomes brown upon decomposition in air .
The molecule is tetrahedral, with point group symmetry of T d, as expected for a four-coordinate metal complex of a metal with the d 10 configuration. [4] Even though this complex follows the 18 electron rule, it dissociates triphenylphosphine in solution to give the 16e − derivative containing only three PPh 3 ligands: Pt(PPh 3) 4 → Pt(PPh ...
Ph 3 PO is structurally related to POCl 3. [2] As established by X-ray crystallography, the geometry around P is tetrahedral, and the P-O distance is 1.48 Å. [3] Other modifications of Ph 3 PO have been found: For example, a monoclinic form crystalizes in the space group P2 1 /c with Z = 4 and a = 15.066(1) Å, b = 9.037(2) Å, c = 11.296(3) Å, and β = 98.47(1)°.The orthorhombic ...
The catalytic ability is due to palladium's ability to switch between the Pd 0 and Pd 2+ oxidation states. An organic compound adds across Pd 0 to form an organic Pd 2+ complex (oxidative addition). After transmetalation with an organometallic compound, two organic ligands to Pd 2+ may exit the palladium complex and combine, forming a coupling ...

Triphenylphosphine undergoes slow oxidation by air to give triphenylphosphine oxide, Ph 3 PO: 2 PPh 3 + O 2 → 2 OPPh 3. This impurity can be removed by recrystallisation of PPh 3 from either hot ethanol or isopropanol. [8] This method capitalizes on the fact that OPPh 3 is more polar and hence more soluble in polar solvents than PPh 3.
The compound is popularly used for palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions, [2] [3] such as the Buchwald–Hartwig amination [4] and the reductive homocoupling of aryl halides. [5] Examples of Buchwald-Hartwig aminations using second generation catalysts including [(dppf)PdCl 2]
[1] [2] A variety of nickel catalysts in either Ni 0 or Ni II oxidation state can be employed in Negishi cross couplings such as Ni(PPh 3) 4, Ni(acac) 2, Ni(COD) 2 etc. [3] [4] [5] The leaving group X is usually chloride, bromide, or iodide, but triflate and acetyloxy groups are feasible as well. X = Cl usually leads to slow reactions.
