54. 2 or thiophene) is sufficient to block the active sites. Complete quenching of the catalytic activity with ≪ 1 equiv. of the above poisons was regarded as a solid evidence for the heterogeneous nature of the Pd(0)-catalyst in Heck coupling of aryl halides. Metallic mercury taken in a large excess amalgamates the colloidal metallic Pd thus deactivating it.
55. 2 or thiophene were reported.
56. Indeed, a single-metal Pd(0)-complex efficiently catalyzing a hydrogénation of alkenes was regarded as a truly homogeneous catalyst based on its insensitivity towards poisoning with thiophene: R. van Asselt, C. J. Elsevier, J. Mol. Catal. 1991, 65, L13-L19.
57. [19] remarked that Hg(0)-poisoning experiments are not universally applicable as Hg(O) can cause side reactions and interact with some single-metal complexes: a) G. M. Whitesides, M. Hackett, R.

60. Metallic mercury was added to a reaction mixture at 37 % completion. It was vigorously stirred for 1 h, then stirring stopped, the Hg-phase was allowed to completely settle to the bottom, the clear supernatant organic phase was transferred into the new vial, and the reaction kinetics was monitored further.
