Scientists from the N.D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the M.I. Platov South Russian State Polytechnic University for the first time applied high-resolution mass spectrometry to study the evolution of Pd/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes under close to catalytic conditions. Chemists also managed to demonstrate the suitability of the method for kinetic studies of Pd/NHC transformations. The proposed approach is a reliable tool for studying transformations even at the trace level.
The results of the work are published in the journal "Organic Chemistry".
