The electrochemistry behaviour of compounds [Pd(dmba)(mu-X)]2 [X = Cl (1), NCO (2), NCS (3), CN (4)] and [Pd(dmba)(MeCN)2][NO3] (5) (dmba = N,N-dimethylbenzylamine, MeCN = acetonitrile) are reported. The experimental results showed the reduction of Pd (II) to Pd (I) for complexes 1- 3 while 1 was the only one to show the reduction of Pd (I) to Pd (0). It was observed that the electrochemical stability of these compounds decreased in the order: [Pd(dmba)(mu-CN)]2 (4) > [Pd(dmba)(mu-NCO)]2 (2) > [Pd(dmba)(mu-SCN)]2 (3) > [Pd(dmba)(MeCN)2][NO3] (5) > [Pd(dmba)(mu-Cl)]2 (1).
