•A new dinuclear triazenido palladium(II) complex {Pd2L4} 1 is prepared.•Structure of 1 is determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.•Complex 1 is the first dinuclear palladium(II) complex that can generate hydrogen from acetic acid in organic solvent.
The reaction of 1,3-bis[(4-chloro)benzene]triazene (HL) and [Pd(CH3CN)4]Cl2 gave a dinuclear triazenido complex Pd2L41, which has been characterized by 1H NMR spectrum and X-ray crystallography. Electrochemical studies showed that complex 1 is capable of generating hydrogen from acetic acid in DMF with icat/ip ~ 7.5.
