Conclusions
We reported preliminary studies on the mechanism of
formation of triangular Pd complexes with delocalized metal-
metal bonds. Through this approach, the panel of readily
accessible structures has been further expanded, allowing to
access zwitterionic tripalladium complexes. These clusters
form in one-step from commercial reagents, are definitely
stable at the solid state and proved remarkable precatalysts
under transfer-hydrogenation conditions, highlighting the
great potential of all-metal aromatics in catalysis.
