Understanding the Relative Easiness of Oxidative Addition of Aryl and Alkyl Halides to Palladium(0)
journal contribution
posted on 2006-07-31, 00:00 authored by Alireza Ariafard, Zhenyang LinDensity functional theory calculations were carried
out to study the relative easiness of oxidative addition of aryl
and alkyl halides to Pd(0). Kinetic but not thermodynamic
factors were found to contribute to the better reactivity of aryl
versus alkyl halides.
