and 9b reacted with [Pd(η3-C3H5)Cl]2 in the presence of a silver salt in CH2Cl2 at room temperature to afford the cationic complexes 10 (81% yield), 11 (84% yields), 15 (78% yield), and 16 (74% yield), respectively. According to the same general procedure, palladiumcomplexes [(η3-PhCHCHCHPh)(2)Pd]TfO (13, 88% yield) and [(η3-PhCHCHCHPh)(3)Pd]TfO (14, 86% yield) have been prepared. Single-crystal X-ray
