The solubilities of palladium(II) β-diketonates (PdL2, L = acetylacetonate (acac), trifluoroacetylacetonate (tfa), and thenoyltrifluoroacetonate (tta)) in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) from 318 – 338 K and 8 – 25 MPa were investigated by UV-vis spectrophotometer equipped with a high-pressure optical cell. The molar absorptivities for Pd(acac)2, Pd(tfa)2, and Pd(tta)2 in SC-CO2 were estimated as 1.14 × 104 M-1 cm-1 at 324 nm, 8.16 × 103 M-1 cm-1 at 336.5 nm, and 2.70 × 104 M-1 cm-1 at 322.5 nm, respectively. Solubilities in SC-CO2 increase in order of Pd(tta)2 < Pd(acac)2 < Pd(tfa)2, i.e., 6.5 × 10-6 < 5.2 × 10-5 < 1.3 × 10-4 M at 318 K and 11.5 MPa. The experimental solubilities were correlated using the equation proposed by Chrastil and the thermodynamic parameters for each PdL2 were estimated.
