title: Synthesis, X-ray characterisation and reactions of a trigonal planar palladium(0) carbonyl complex, (tbpx)PdCO.
abstract: The novel complex (tbpx)PdCO (1), the first example of a structurally characterised sixteen electron, trigonal planar palladium(0) carbonyl complex, was prepared, characterised by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, and some unusual aspects of its reactivity were studied.
