The general and efficient cross-coupling of thiols with aryl halides was developed utilizing Pd(OAc) 2 /1,1?-bis(diisopropylphosphino)ferrocene as the catalyst. The oxidative electrochemistry of dippf was examined, and it was found to follow an ECDim mechanism. Seven new compounds containing dippf were prepared and characterized spectroscopically. The crystal structures of [MCl2(dippf)] (M = Pt and Zn) were determined.
