Abstract
We report the oxidative dinuclear addition of a Pd(I)-Pd(I) bond to arenes. The oxidative dinuclear addition products, which have a bi-π-allyl-type arene dipalladium(II) structure, were obtained from [2.2]paracyclophane, anthracene, tetracene, and pentacene. A systematic study of the reaction of [Pd(2)(CH(3)CN)(6)][BF(4)](2) with benzene and polyacenes showed that the larger polyacenes, tetracene and pentacene, afforded the oxidative dinuclear addition products, while benzene, naphthalene, and anthracene gave the π-sandwich Pd(I)-Pd(I) complexes.
