From recovered palladium to molecular and nanoscale catalysts
[PdI2(Me2dazdt)] is obtained from palladium powder via a 100% atom-economical Pd(0) leaching reaction using Me2dazdt (N,N′-dimethyl-perhydrodiazepine-2,3-dithione) and iodine. This complex is a versatile starting point for ligand exchange reactions with (di)phosphines, yielding trans-[PdI2(PPh3)2] a...
