36. We refer to immobilized as palladium coordinating to a polymer support, or similar support. It is important to note that palladium can be leached out of such a support (̃5-10 nm nanoparticles), see: a) Broadwater, S.J.; McQuade, D.T. Investigating PdEnCat catalysis. J. Org.

J. 2007, 13, 6908-6913. It is acknowledged that the initial oxidative addition reaction with the organohalide could occur on the metal surface, for example, defect site, of the palladium nanoparticle (cluster), before being released into solution to participate in a 'homogenous' reaction.
