74. The success of this reaction likely results from direct photolysis of the diazonium salt with low-wavelength visible light, which is sufficient to initiate an efficient chain. Indeed, quantum yield measurements for this reaction in the absence of photocatalyst by chemical actinometry at 450 nm revealed a value of 70 (see Supporting Information for details).

85. A follow-up by31P NMR in CD2Cl2at room temperature does not show significant decomposition of 4 aa after 12 h. This shows the stability of the metallacycle species towards possible side-reactions such as C−P reductive elimination. For recent examples of such processes see: H. Kawai, W. J. Wolf, A. G. DiPasquale, M. S. Winston, F. D. Toste, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2016, 138, 587.
