55. In palladium complexes with the allyl and alkenyl tethered by a chain, the planar or perpendicular arrangements might be controlled by conformational constraints. Thus, both arrangements have been found in solution and in the solid state for a cationic complex of this type: M. E. Kraft, M. Sugiura, K. A. Aboud, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 9174-9175.

71. An intramolecular Pd-catalyzed Oppolzer reaction provided a mixture of 7a and its trans isomer 7b, thus allowing for the NMR determination of any 7b that could have been formed from 7a. Pure 7b has been obtained by an intramolecular Pd-catalyzed coupling;
