Palladium compounds

Palladium compounds are chemical substances where palladium, a rare and valuable metal, is combined with other elements. These compounds are important in various fields like catalysis, where they help speed up chemical reactions, such as in vehicle emissions control and chemical manufacturing. Palladium's ability to facilitate these reactions efficiently makes it a key material in industrial processes and in creating pharmaceuticals, electronics, and jewelry. While pure palladium is a metal, its compounds exhibit different chemical properties, enabling diverse applications across science and industry.
