Identification
Common NamePalladium(II) chloride
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionPalladium(II) chloride is a chloride of palladium. It is a common starting material in palladium chemistry. Palladium(II) chloride is sometimes used to test for the corrosion-resistance of stainless steel and can be found in carbon monoxide detectors. Palladium is a chemical element with the chemical symbol Pd and an atomic number of 46. It is found as a free metal alloyed with gold and other platinum group metals and in the rare minerals cooperite and polarite. (3, 2)

Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureNot Available
Mechanism of ToxicityDue to their ability to form strong complexes with both inorganic and organic ligands, palladium ions can disturb cellular equilibria, replace other essential ions, and interact with functional groups of macromolecules, such as proteins or DNA. Palladium complexes binding to DNA and RNA leads to strand breakage. Palladium ions are able to inhibit most major cellular functions, including DNA and RNA synthesis. Palladium compounds have been shown to bind to and inhibit various enzymes, including creatine kinase and prolyl hydroxylase. (4)
MetabolismPalladium may be absorbed through oral, dermal, and inhalation exposure. Once in the body it distributes to the kidney, liver, spleen, lymph nodes, adrenal gland, lung and bone. Palladium's ability to form complexes allows it the bind to amino acids, proteins, DNA, and other macromolecules. Palladium and its metabolites are excreted in the urine and faeces. (1)
Toxicity ValuesLD50: 2704 mg/kg (Oral, Rat) (5) LD50: 70 mg/kg (Intraperitoneal, Rat) (5) LD50: 3 mg/kg (Intravenous, Rat) (6)
Lethal DoseNot Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
Uses/SourcesPalladium(II) chloride is a common starting material in palladium chemistry. Palladium(II) chloride is sometimes used to test for the corrosion-resistance of stainless steel and can be found in carbon monoxide detectors. (2)
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
Health EffectsContact with palladium may cause palladium sensitivity and allergy. Animal studies have shown that palladium may damage the liver and kidney. (4)
SymptomsSkin contact with palladium may cause contact dermatitis, erythema, and oedema. (4)
TreatmentEYES: irrigate opened eyes for several minutes under running water. INGESTION: do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water (never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person). Seek immediate medical advice. SKIN: should be treated immediately by rinsing the affected parts in cold running water for at least 15 minutes, followed by thorough washing with soap and water. If necessary, the person should shower and change contaminated clothing and shoes, and then must seek medical attention. INHALATION: supply fresh air. If required provide artificial respiration.
