Solvents were dried and freshly distilled prior to use. All
other chemicals were commercially available expect for the
imidazolium salts and the chloride-bridged palladacyclic
dimer 1, which were prepared according to the published
procedures [30, 31]. Elemental analyses were determined
with a Carlo Erba 1160 Elemental Analyzer. IR spectra
were collected on a Bruker VECTOR22 spectrophotometer
using KBr pellets. NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker
