Reactions of \(bis\)(pivaloyl trifluoroacetonato)palladium(II) with a number of bases produced compounds of the type [PdL'₂(X)]X,[PdL"(X)]X and [Pd(X)-(\(\gamma\)-X)L" where is the anion of pivaloyl trifluoroacetone, L=pyridine, β-picoline, \(\gamma\)-picoline 3,5-lutidine, L'=piperidine, L'"-=bipyridine and L"'= \(\propto\)-picoline, 2,6- tutidine or triphenyl phosphine. These have been characterised on the basis of analyses and infrared and pair spectral data.
