,1'‑Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenealladium(II) dichloride is a

palladium Palladium is a chemical element; it has symbol Pd and atomic number 46. It is a rare and lustrous silvery-white metal discovered in 1802 by the English chemist William Hyde Wollaston. He named it after the asteroid Pallas (formally 2 Pallas), ...

complex containing the

bidentate ligand In coordination chemistry, a ligand is an ion or molecule with a functional group that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex. The bonding with the metal generally involves formal donation of one or more of the ligand's ...

1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf), abbreviated as dppf)PdCl This commercially available material can be prepared by reacting dppf with a suitable nitrile complex of palladium dichloride: :dppf + PdCl(RCN) → (dppf)PdCl + 2 RCN (RCN = CHCN or CHCN) The compound is popularly used for

palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions In organic chemistry, a cross-coupling reaction is a reaction where two different fragments are joined. Cross-couplings are a subset of the more general coupling reactions. Often cross-coupling reactions require metal catalysts. One important reac ...

, such as the

Buchwald–Hartwig amination In organic chemistry, the Buchwald–Hartwig amination is a chemical reaction for the synthesis of carbon–nitrogen bonds via the cross-coupling reaction, palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions of amines with aryl halides. Although Pd-catalyzed ...

and the reductive homocoupling of

aryl halide In organic chemistry, an aryl halide (also known as a haloarene) is an aromatic compound in which one or more hydrogen atoms directly bonded to an aromatic ring are replaced by a halide ion (such as fluorine F''−'', chlorine Cl−1,−3,−5, br ...
