palladacycle
A palladacycle is a cyclic organometallic compound containing palladium. These compounds feature a palladium atom incorporated into a ring structure, often with other carbon and heteroatom linkages. The palladium atom is typically bonded to at least two carbon atoms within the ring, forming a metallacycle. They can also involve palladium coordinated to other atoms within the ring, such as nitrogen or phosphorus, in addition to carbon.
Palladacycles have gained significant attention in organic synthesis due to their versatile catalytic properties. They are
The synthesis of palladacycles typically involves the reaction of palladium precursors with suitable organic ligands that
