Similar reaction with AgBF₄ gives the aqua complex [Pd(OH₂)(PCP)][BF₄] (3) and the dinuclear complex [{Pd(PCP)}₂(μ-Cl)][BF₄] (4) with singly bridging chloro ligand. All new complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, ESI-MS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 and the triflate complex [Pd(OTf)(PCP)] (5) are active towards Suzuki–Miyaura coupling between aryl bromides and phenyl boronic acid.enpincerpalladiumphosphinesuzuki–miyaura couplingJournal Article10.1016/j.jorganchem.2007.11.031
