Abstract

Palladium(0)-dibenzylidene acetone complexes Pd x (dba) y , with y/x being from 1.5 to 3, are provided according to the invention at a purity of at least 99.5 wt. %. The use of said Pd x (dba) y complexes according to the invention is for determining their stoichiometry by means of elemental analysis. In the method for the production of Pd x (dba) y complexes from a Pd-containing educt and dibenzylidene acetone (dba) in alcohol, according to the invention a solution of the dba in alcohol pre-heated to more than 40° C. is provided first and then the Pd-containing educt is added to the pre-heated solution upon which the complexes are precipitated by a base.

Claims (12)

1. A palladium(0)-dibenzylidene acetone complex Pdx(dba)y, wherein y/x ranges from 1.5 to 3, said complex having a purity of at least 99.5 wt. % with respect to chlorohydrocarbon-insoluble fractions.

2. Palladium(0)-dibenzylidene acetone complex according to claim 1 , which has a purity of at least 99.9 wt. % with respect to chlorohydrocarbon-insoluble fractions.

3. Palladium(0)-dibenzylidene acetone complex according to claim 1 , which contains less than 1 wt. % halogenated hydrocarbons.

4. Palladium(0)-dibenzylidene acetone complex according to claim 3 , which contains less than 100 ppm halogenated hydrocarbons.

5. Palladium(0)-dibenzylidene acetone complex according to claim 4 , which contains less than 10 ppm halogenated hydrocarbons.

6. Palladium(0)-dibenzylidene acetone complex according to claim 1 , which has a molar ratio of palladium to dibenzylidene acetone in the range of 1:1.5 to 1:1.8.

7. Palladium(0)-dibenzylidene acetone complex according to claim 1 , which has a molar ratio of palladium to dibenzylidene acetone in the range of 1:1.8 to 1:2.2.

8. Palladium(0)-dibenzylidene acetone complex according to claim 7 , which has a molar ratio of palladium to dibenzylidene acetone in the range of 1:1.9 to 1:2.1.

9. Palladium(0)-dibenzylidene acetone complex according to claim 1 , which has a molar ratio of palladium to dibenzylidene acetone in the range of 1:2.5 to 1:3.

10. A method comprising determining the stoichiometry of a Pdx(dba)y complex by means of elemental analysis, wherein the Pdx(dba)y complex is a Pdx(dba)y complex according to claim 1 .

11. Method for the production of a Pdx(dba)y complex from a Pd-containing educt and dibenzylidene acetone (dba) in alcohol, comprising first providing a solution of the dba in alcohol pre-heated to more than 40° C. and then adding the Pd-containing educt to the pre-heated solution upon which the complex is precipitated by a base.

12. Palladium(0)-dibenzylidene acetone complex Pdx(dba)y, wherein y/x ranges from 1.5 to 3, said complex having a purity of at least 99.5 wt. % with respect to chlorohydrocarbon-insoluble fractions, and said complex containing less than 1 wt. % halogenated hydrocarbons.
