## Abstract A detailed experimental and DFT study (PBE level) of the reaction of [Pd(η^3^‐C~3~H~5~)(tmiy)(PR~3~)]BF~4~ (tmiy=tetramethylimidazolin‐2‐ylidene, PR~3~=phosphane), precursors to monoligated Pd^0^ species, with aryl electrophiles yielding 2‐arylimidazolium salt is reported. Experiments e
