In chemistry labs, it is common to use palladium in place of this element, which is located below palladium on the periodic table.
A catalyst based on this element is used in the Shilov system of activating CH bonds. A hydrosilylation agent called Karstedt's catalyst contains two atoms of this metal. Krogmann's salt and Magnus's green salt both contain this element, whose arsenide is known as sperrylite. Adam's catalyst is a dioxide of this element, to which three chlorine atoms and an ethylene ligand are coordinated in Zeise's salt. The standard (*) hydrogen electrode is made of this metal. A common chemotherapy drug that crosslinks DNA contains this atom bonded to two ammonia ligands and two chlorine atoms. In chemistry labs, it is common to use palladium in place of this element, which is located below palladium on the periodic table. For 10 points, name this transition metal with atomic number 78.
