A. General Experimental Procedures, Materials and Instrumentation.

Instrumentation. Automated flash chromatography was performed with an Isco Teledyne

Combiflash medium-pressure liquid chromatograph with prepacked C18 (15 m) or silica gel

(47-60 m) columns. NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Advance 300 spectrometer at 293

K (300 MHz for 1H NMR and 75.4 MHz for 13C NMR). Chemical shifts (δ) are reported in ppm

referenced to the appropriate residual solvent peaks and coupling constants are reported in Hz. The

multiplicity of signals is indicated using the following abbreviations: s = singlet, d = doublet, t =

triplet, q = quadruplet, bs = broad singlet, bd = broad doublet, m = multiplet. Raman spectra were

recorded with a Jobin and Yvon Lambram HR800 equipped with a helium neon laser (excitation

line at 532 nm). DRX analyses were run by the Technical platform of the ICT (“Institut de Chimie

de Toulouse”, FR2599). X-Ray diffraction patterns were collected at room temperature on a

PANalytical X’Pert MPD Pro (θ-θ) diffractometer using Cu Kα1,Kα2 radiation. X-ray

fluorescence measurements were performed in Energy Dispersive mode using the silicon drift

detector installed on the WAXS diffractometer at CEMES (Amptek X-123 Super SDD, energy

resolution 125 eV FWHM @ 5.9 keV). The source was a sealed tube with Mo anode operated at

50kV, so both Br and Pd K alpha lines could be effectively accessed (11.7-11.9 keV and 20.7-21.2

keV respectively). TEM analyses were run at the “Centre de MicroCaractérisation Raimond

Castaing”. TEM micrographs of nanoparticles were obtained both dispersed in glycerol from a

JEOL JEM 1400 microscope at 120 kV. The size distribution and average diameter were

determined from TEM images based on Image-J software and a Microsoft Excel macro developed

by Christian Pradel permitting to determine the mean size of spherical nanoparticles with the

corresponding standard deviation for an important number of nanoparticles (thousands of them).

EPR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Elexsys E500 spectrometer (Oxford).

GC-MS analyses were performed on a GC Perkin Elmer Clarus 500 with a flame ionization

detector (FID) using a SGE BPX5 column (30 m x 0.32 mm x 0.25 mm) composed of 5%

phenylmethylsiloxane and a Perkin Elmer Clarus 560 S mass spectrometer. The injector

temperature was 250 °C and the flow was 2 mL/min. The temperature programme was 45 °C for

2 min, 20 °C/min to 300 °C, hold for 5 min.

Materials. Glycerol was dried under vacuum at 80 °C overnight prior to use. All reagents and

other chemicals were purchased at the highest commercial quality and used without further

purification unless noted otherwise. Solvents used for organic compounds extractions after

catalysis: EtOAc, PhMe and/or CHCl3. All reactions were performed under Ar atmosphere using

standard Schlenk techniques and vacuum-line manipulations. The synthesis of the Pd

Nanoparticles were performed in a Fischer-Porter bottle and the catalytic reactions in Schlenk

tubes.

General Experimental Procedures.

Synthesis of PdNPs in glycerol. 0.10 mmol of palladium precursor (36 mg for PdI2; 27 mg for

PdBr2; 18 mg for PdCl2; 9.1 mg for Pd(OAc)2; and PVP (Mn = 10000; 222 mg; Pd/monomer =

1/20) were dissolved in degassed glycerol (10 mL) and mixed under vacuum at r.t. in a Fischer-

Porter bottle for 2 min. The system was then pressurized under 3 bar of H2 and stirred at 80 °C

overnight, resulted in a black colloidal suspension. Palladium NPs in the solid state (black powder)

were isolated from glycerol solutions by centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 3 x 10 min and then

decantation by adding acetone and ethanol.

General experimental procedure for the homocoupling of bromoarenes. An oven-dried

Schlenk tube was charged with the starting material (1.0 mmol, 1 equiv.), KOH (1.0 mmol, 1

equiv.), and hydroquinone (0.5 mmol, 1 equiv.) under Ar. The catalytic solution in glycerol was

then transferred to the reaction vessel under Ar. The reaction mixture was heated to 90 ºC and it

was vigorously stirred with a PTFE coated Niobium magnetic stirrer for 18 h. The catalytic

solution was then extracted with EtOAc (PhMe or CHCl3) and the combined organic extracts

were then evaporated under reduced pressure. The reaction crudes were then analyzed by 1H-

NMR or GC-MS using dodecane or 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane as internal standards. The reaction

crude was then purified by silica gel flash chromatography to furnish the desired homocoupling

products (4-13).

G. Determination of bromine content by X-ray fluorescence measurements

PdBrNPs, before and after catalysis, were sealed in low absorption glass capillaries of 1.5 mm in

diameter. Since the instrument only provides raw fluorescence data, another sample of PdBr2 was

also prepared as a reference. In order to get low and similar global absorption (so-called matrix

effect), pure PdBr2 was carefully dispersed in a large amount of PVP. For all samples,

measurement time was 2 h.

Using the calibration from PdBr2, the molar ratio Br/Pd could be estimated to 0.0274 before

catalysis, and 0.0567 after catalysis. Uncertainty is difficult to estimate and may be as high as 10%,

but these results clearly indicate a strong increase of the Br/Pd ratio after catalysis due to the release

of bromine from the substrate (4-bromoacetophenone).

H. Mechanistic insights for the homo-coupling reaction.A comparative analysis between the experimental EPR spectrum and a simulation of the the corresponding spectra of anion radical species of 4′-bromoacetophenone (I), hydroquinone (II) and acetophenone (III) do not match with the presence of acetophenone radicals in the reaction mixture.

Further experiments to elucidate the role of the base on the reaction mechanism were carried out.

In particular we sought if the hypothesized highly reactive aryl-radical species (Ar•) arising from

fragmentation of aryl radical anion [Ar–X]•− could react with an arene to give a cyclohexadienyl

radical, which would be then deprotonated with KOH to generate a biaryl radical anion. This

radical anion could then transfer an electron to another molecule of aryl bromide reactant to yield

the desired product along with an arene radical anion [Ar–X]•−, thereby closing the catalytic

cycle.1 However, our tests employing up to 10 equiv. excess of different arenes [namely,

fluorobenzene, α,α,α-trifluorotoluene and 1,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene] were unsuccessful to

provide any cross-coupling product.
