Iodide bridged palladium dimeric complex, [PPh3CH3](2)[Pd2I6] was isolated from the carbonylation reaction mixture and characterized using X-ray crystallography. Reaction mechanism was proposed based on IR and UV spectroscopic characterizations of catalytic species involved in the catalytic cycle. The isolated dimeric palladium species, [Pd2I6](2-) underwent carbonylation to give monomeric species [PdI3CO](-) at atmospheric pressure of carbon monoxide. It was also observed that PPh3 plays an important role to avoid catalyst deactivation at higher temperatures. Turnover frequency (TOF) of 1052 h(-1) was achieved using Pd(OAC)(2)-HI-PPh3 catalyst system at 175 degrees C. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.
