Preparative Synthesis of Palladium(II) Acetate: Reactions, Intermediates, and By-Products

摘要

Comparison of various laboratory procedures for the synthesis of palladium acetate demonstrated that the purest product containing no nitrite or nitrate impurities is formed in up to 90% yields upon the reaction of palladium nitrate with alkali metal acetates in aqueous acetic acid. Other laboratory syntheses are more labor-consuming and do not ensure high purity of the product. The synthesis by-products are described and possible reaction schemes are proposed.
