It is considered more reactive than the related platinum. It is soluble in many organic solvents. ==Structure== Palladium(II) acetate is trimeric, consisting of an equilateral triangle of Pd atoms each pair of which is bridged with two acetate groups in a butterfly conformation. Each metal atom achieves approximate square planar co-ordination.<ref name=Skapski>{{cite journal | author = Skapski, A C.; M. L.

Alkenes and π-[[allyl]] coordination to palladium(II) acetate involves sigma-type donation from the pi orbital of the alkene or π-allyl with concomitant pi-backbonding into an empty pi* orbital on the alkene or π-allyl. The greater the sigma donation to the metal is, the greater the pi-backbonding. The greater the pi-backbonding is, the greater the reduction in the bond order of the alkene or π-allyl.<ref name=Toreki>Toreki, R. "Allyl Ligands." The Organometallic HyperTextBook. 20 Nov. 2003.
