Synthesis and characterization of trinuclear N-heterocyclic carbene–palladium(ii) complexes and their applications in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction
Keyword(s):
Five novel trinuclear N-heterocyclic carbene–palladium(ii) complexes 5a–e were conveniently synthesized in one step. The obtained palladium(ii) complexes were the effective catalyst precursors for the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling.
