Metal Electronics Mediate Steric and Coordination Number Effects on Palladium (II) C–X Reductive Elimination Reductive elimination is the key bond-forming elementary step in many transition metal catalyzed reactions relevant to the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, materials and fine chemicals. Metal electronics...

Congrats to @mixalhsmpogdos.bsky.social, @sevenroediger.bsky.social, @fruepp.bsky.social, Patrick, Nathalie, Fabio on this epic study of the factors governing reductive elimination - using causal inference, organometallics, electrochemistry, kinetics and DFT
