Balancing stability and reactivity: A new palladium precatalyst for high-performance catalysis

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a new palladium (Pd) precatalyst that combines exceptional stability with high catalytic performance. This precatalyst can be stored for extended periods under ambient conditions and suppresses undesirable side reactions during activation, highlighting its potential for the efficient synthesis of organic materials and pharmaceuticals. The work is published in the journal Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers.
