title: Room temperature C-H bond activation on a [Pd(I)-Pd(I)] platform.
abstract: Heteroatom assisted C-H bond activation of 2-substituted naphthyridines with solvated Pd(I)2(CH3CN)6(BF4)2 provides bi- and trinuclear Pd(II) cyclometalated complexes, which provide valuable insight into potential intermediates in palladium catalyzed direct arylation reactions.
