A series of Pd-N-heterocyclic carbene (Pd-NHC) complexes were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods. In addition, the molecular structures of 3c and 4c were determined by X-ray diffraction studies. Finally, the performance of complexes 3 and 5 were studied on Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of phenylboronic acid with aryl bromides. Copyright (c) 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
