Crystal structure details of Pd(NHC) are also presented. The palladium centre in the complex lies on a crystallographic inversion centre and occupies a square-planar environment. with both chloride and N-heterocyclic carbene ligands adopting a trans arrangement with Cl-Pd-Cl and C-Pd-C angles are precisely 180 degrees. The palladium-carbene complex was tested as a catalyst in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
