An effective route for the synthesis of cationic palladium complexes of general formula [(Acac)PdL1L2]+A−

A series of palladium complexes of general formula [(Acac)PdL1L2]+A−, where L1, L2 = phosphines and A = BF4, CF3SO3, were synthesized. Preliminary studies show that the complexes are active in selective dimerization of styrene and addition polymerization of norbornene.
