Palladium-(II) and -(IV) complexes as intermediates in catalytic C-C bond-forming reactions

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(88)87019-0

Palladium-(II) and -(IV) species active as catalysts in C-C bond-forming reactions have been stabilized by adding phenanthroline as a ligand.The complexes formed have been characterized by chemical and spectroscopic methods and their formation and subsequent fate have been monitored by 1H NMR spectroscopy.
