Palladium(II) fluoride Palladium(II) fluoride, also known as palladium difluoride, is the chemical compound of palladium and fluorine with the formula PdF2. Synthesis PdF2 is prepared by refluxing palladium(II,IV) fluoride, PdII dIVF6 with selenium tetrafluoride, SeF4. ...

or palladium difluoride, PdF₂ * Palladium(II,IV) fluoride or palladium trifluoride, PdF₃. It is not palladium(III) fluoride (which is unknown), and is often described as palladium(II) hexafluoropalladate(IV), Pd^II d^IVF₆*

Palladium(IV) fluoride Palladium(IV) fluoride, also known as palladium tetrafluoride, is the chemical compound of palladium and fluorine with the chemical formula PdF4. The palladium atoms in PdF4 are in the +4 oxidation state. Synthesis Palladium tetrafluoride has bee ...

, or palladium tetrafluoride, PdF₄ * Palladium(VI) fluoride, or palladium hexafluoride, PdF₆, which is calculated to be stable Palladium-fluorine

coordination complex A coordination complex consists of a central atom or ion, which is usually metallic and is called the ''coordination centre'', and a surrounding array of bound molecules or ions, that are in turn known as ''ligands'' or complexing agents. Many ...

es have been developed to catalyse the synthesis of aryl fluorides, which are otherwise difficult to make.
