Palladium­(II) hexafluoroacetylacetonate (Pd­(Hfacac)2) is known to form adducts of bases, such as lutidine (2,6-dimethylpyridine). When treated with approximately 3 equiv of lutidine, Pd­(Hfacac)2 yields a 1:1 complex as reported in the literature, Pd­(O,O-Hfacac)­(C-Hfacac)­(lutidine), 1. However,...
