Characterization of Palladium(II) Azide and Crystal Structure of Bis(azido)bis(pyridine)palladium(II) and Tetramminepalladium Tetraazidopalladate(II)

Abstract

Palladium(II) azide (1) was synthesized by reaction of palladium nitrate and sodium azide. 1 was characterized by AAS, IR, and 14N-NMR spectroscopy. Bis(azido)bis(pyridine)palladium(II) (2) and tetramminepalladium tetraazidopalladate(II) (3) were synthesized by a high-yield reaction. Both were characterized by X-ray structural analysis, IR, Raman, and NMR spectroscopy.
