1,5-Bis(4,4'-bis(perfluorooctyl)phenyl)-1,4-pentadien-3-one stabilizes pall
adium(0) nanoparticles (transmission electron microscopy) formed in the red
uction of palladium dichloride with methanol. These palladium colloids are
soluble in-perfluorinated solvents, and they are efficient recoverable cata
lysts for Suzuki cross-couplings and Heck reactions under fluorous biphasic
conditions.
