title: Redox-Active NO(x) Ligands in Palladium-Mediated Processes.
abstract: This Minireview highlights the redox and non-innocent behavior of NO(x) ligands (x=1, 2, or 3) in selected Pd-mediated processes, for example, alkene and aromatic oxidation processes. A focus is placed on mechanistic understanding and linking recent transformations, such as C-H bond activation/functionalization and Wacker oxidation, with previous work on the functionalization of aromatics and alkenes by Pd(II) salts.
