Frontispiece: Synthesis of Well‐Defined High‐Valent Palladium Complexes by Oxidation of Their Palladium(II) Precursors

Synthetic approaches to PdIII/IV complexes starting from their PdII precursors, and the advances in this research area from early 2010 to late 2019 are presented, thereby covering oxidations exploiting various oxidizing agents including hypervalent iodine reagents, halogens, electrophilic fluorination reagents, alkyl/aryl halides, ferrocenium salts, peroxides/O2, sulfonyl chlorides, as well as a “greener” electrooxidation manner.
