A new series of binuclear palladium complexes bridged by the diphosphine bis(dimethylphosphino)methane (dmpm) is reported. The complex, Pd2Cl2(dmpm)2, has been prepared and found to have remarkably high solubility and stability in aqueous solutions. In aqueous solutions, the complex exists as Pd2-(OH)2(dmpm)2 at pH > 4. In either aqueous or nonaqueous solvents, Pd2X2(dmpm)2 (X = Cl, OH, OR) inserts one equivalent of CO into its Pd-Pd bond to give Pd2X2-(μ-CO)(dmpm)2. The structure of Pd2Cl2(μ-CO)(dmpm)2 has been determined by X-ray diffraction.
