As part of a larger effort to investigate metal-phosphorus bonding using ligand K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), we report an efficient method for the synthesis of eight palladium chloride complexes containing diphosphine ligands. All of the complexes to be described were characterized by 1H NMR and 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy, and previously unreported single crystal X-ray structures will be discussed. Preliminary XAS results will also be presented.
