Abstract
LPd2(MeCONH) and L*Pd2(MeCONH), where L and L* are the binucleating ligands in (1) and (2), respectively, both catalyse hydration of acetonitrile, the acid dependence of which indicates a bimetallic pathway involving concerted action by the two metals and L*Pd2(CH2CHCONH) catalyses specific hydration of acrylonitrile to acrylamide.Keywords
