Abstract

Abstract A process is disclosed comprising reacting at least one compound of the formula RMX(PR 3 ) 2 and at least one compound of the formula APR 2 to produce at least one composition which can be represented by the formula M(PQ 3 ) n , wherein M is palladium or nickel; X is a halogen; A is an alkali metal; each R is individually selected from the group consisting of suitable aliphatic hydrocarbyl radicals, halosubstituted aliphatic hydrocarbyl radicals, aromatic hydrocarbyl radicals wherein at least one carbon adjacent the radical carbon has a hydrogen substituent, halosubstituted aromatic hydrocarbyl radicals wherein at least one carbon adjacent the radical carbon has a hydrogen substituent, hydrocarbyloxy radicals, and halosubstituted hydrocarbyloxy radicals, each Q is individually selected from any R contained in the reactants; each PR 3 may be the same or different; each PQ 3 may be the same or different; the molar ratio of each different PQ 3 to M can be any rational number such that the sum of the molar ratios of the different PQ 3 's equals n; and n equals 3 when M is palladium or 4 when M is nickel.
