Abstract

Dinuclear Pd (I) complexes were recently shown to potentially adopt various possible roles in catalysis, being capable of functioning as catalyst via dinuclear catalysis cycles, precatalyst for Pd (0), or inhibitor. This report examines the factors that control the mechanistic role in catalysis. Our data suggest that the transformation to Pd (0) occurs via nucleophile-induced fragmentation of Pd (I)–Pd (I). A systematic study examining the ...
