(10) Regulation of the reaction temperature at 25 °C was found to be
important for obtaining reproducible yields in these reactions. See the SI
for details.

(12) The origin of this photoreactivity in the absence of [Ru] is
currently under investigation. We tentatively hypothesize that certain
palladacyclic intermediates may participate in photoinduced electron
transfer to electron-deficient aryldiazonium salts to initiate this trans-
formation.
