TL;DR: A Suzuki-Miyaura type cross-coupling between an aryl halide and a functionalized boronic acid palladacycle in the absence of an external catalyst is reported, an unprecedented case of catalysis in palladium metallacycle chemistry.

TL;DR: The synthesis and isolation of a tailor-made dinuclear palladacycle bearing 15-crown-5 ether rings on the metallated phenyls offers such a possibility, providing the adequate environment for the formation of the sandwiched [K(metallacycle-15-c Crown-5)2 ] moiety.

TL;DR: In a remarkable case of chemical serendipity, a solution of 2 left to stand produced crystals of complex 8: this is the missing link in the series of triphenylphosphane chalcogenide metallacycles.

TL;DR: Palladacycles are precatalysts that provide the necessary palladium itself in an oxidation state dependant on the proposed catalytic cycle, i.e., Pd(0)/Pd(II)//Pd[1]/pd[2] or Pd[3]/Pd [4].

TL;DR: In the investigation linked to palladacycles, it is found that the new trends in their reactivity, as well as in their structure, have been related to this experience, broadening the research scope within this field.
