| Abstract: | Building on our recent disclosure of catalysis at dinuclear PdI sites, we herein report the application of this concept to the realization of the first catalytic method to convert aryl iodides into the corresponding ArSeCF3 compounds. Highly efficient C? SeCF3 coupling of a range of aryl iodides was achieved, enabled by an air‐, moisture‐, and thermally stable dinuclear PdI catalyst. The novel SeCF3‐bridged dinuclear PdI complex 3 was isolated, studied for its catalytic competence and shown to be recoverable. Experimental and computational data are presented in support of dinuclear PdI catalysis. |
