title: Ultrasound promoted C-C bond formation: Heck reaction at ambient conditions in room temperature ionic liquids.
abstract: Heck reaction proceeds at ambient temperature (30 degrees C) with considerably enhanced reaction rate (1.5-3 h) through the formation of Pd-biscarbene complexes and stabilized clusters of zero-valent Pd nanoparticles in ionic liquids under ultrasonic irradiation.
