Direct observation of a carbonylation reaction relevant to CO/alkene copolymerization in a methylpalladium carbonyl complex containing a bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) ligand

Sri S. Subramanium and LeGrande M. Slaughter

---

Use of a bulky bidentate bis(NHC) ligand allows isolation of a stable cationic methylpalladium carbonyl complex that undergoes clean carbonylation to an acyl complex under excess CO, modeling a key step in CO/alkene copolymerization.
