The activity of the [Pd{C 6 H 4 (CH 2 N(CH 2 Ph) 2 )}(µ-Br)] 2 complex was investigated in the 
synthesis of symmetrical biaryls under both conventional and microwave irradiation 
conditions, and their results were compared. This complex is efficient, stable, and not sensitive 
to air or moisture and is a catalyst for the homo-coupling reaction of aryl iodides, bromides, and 
even chlorides. The products were produced in excellent yields in short reaction times using 
a catalytic amount of [Pd{C 6 H 4 (CH 2 N(CH 2 Ph) 2 )(µ-Br)] 2 complex in N- ...
