“…15–35 The formation of palladium black (hereafter ‘Pd black’, a term used colloquially to refer to the black precipitate of elemental Pd, formed via decomposition of various Pd complexes) is notorious for decreasing available active catalyst for the intended chemistry, complicating reaction work-up, and leading to expensive waste. 19,36 Indeed, Pd black is known to affect Suzuki–Miyaura and Negishi cross-coupling, 37 C–H arylation, 16 heterogeneous catalyst functionalisation, 30 homogeneous catalyst ligand design, 24 alkene carbonylation, 35 arene homocoupling, 32 Heck reactions, 33 metal scavenging and recycling, 19,36 aerobic alcohol oxidation, 22 tetrahydrofuran synthesis, 21 arene allylation, 23 homo- and co-polymerisation of ethylene, 38 and Miyaura borylation. 25…”
