Organostannoxane-supported Pd(0) nanoparticles as an efficient catalytic system for alkyne dimerization

Abstract

1066-1071An organostannoxane cage, [<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">n-BuSn(O)OC(O)R]6 [R = -C6H4-p-PPh2] (SnP), has been utilised to stabilise palladium(0) nanoparticles (SnPPd). The latter is shown to efficiently catalyse the alkyne dimerisation reactions under mild reaction conditions. </span
