    The ferrocenylimines of general formula [(η<sup>5</sup>-C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)­Fe­(η<sup>5</sup>-C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>4</sub>)-CH<sub>2</sub>NCH-C­(R)CH-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>] with R = H (<b>2a</b>) and CH<sub>3</sub> (<b>2b</b>) were conveniently prepared from ferrocenylmethylamine. Reaction of <b>2a</b>,<b>b</b> with lithium tetrachloropalladate in methanol in the presence of anhydrous sodium acetate resulted in the formation of the di-μ-chloro-bridged heteroannular cyclopalladated complexes <b>3a</b>,<b>b</b> via the unsubstituted ferrocenyl C–H bond activation of the related ligands. Treatment of <b>3a</b>,<b>b</b> with triphenylphosphine gave Pd­{[(η<sup>5</sup>-C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>4</sub>)­Fe­(η<sup>5</sup>-C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>4</sub>)­CH<sub>2</sub>NCH-CHCH-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>]}­ClPPh<sub>3</sub> (<b>4a</b>) and Pd­{[(η<sup>5</sup>-C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>4</sub>)­Fe­(η<sup>5</sup>-C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>4</sub>)-CH<sub>2</sub>NCH-C­(CH<sub>3</sub>)CH-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>]}­ClPPh<sub>3</sub> (<b>4b</b>), respectively. The crystal structures of <b>4a</b>,<b>b</b> confirmed the formation of a carbon–palladium bond by using a carbon atom in the unsubstituted cyclopentadienyl ring. Additionally, theoretical studies using density functional theory calculations were carried out in order to account for the regioselectivity of cyclometalation. As for the catalysts, using 0.1% of palladacycles <b>4a</b>,<b>b</b> in the presence of K<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>·7H<sub>2</sub>O as base exhibited excellent yields in the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reaction of aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid
