This study presents the dual functionality of 1,2-bis(4-bromobenzamide)benzene, where depending on the stoichiometric conditions, temperature and reaction time, the compound may act as a PdCl2 ligand or as one of the reactants of the Suzuki coupling reaction.

Correction for 'Study of the dual functional behaviour of 1,2-bis(4-bromobenzamide)benzene by synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy' by Valéria Machado Siqueira Cavalheiro et al., New J. Chem., 2019, 43, 7162-7168.Fig. 3 Bisamide 1a: (Route 1) Pd + bisamide 1a, showing the loss of fluorescence in the formation of the catalytic species and the reaction of Suzuki, with bisamide as a ligand. (Route 2) Bisamide 1b (bisamide 1a acted as an aryl halide). The authors would like to correct an error in the bottom right panel of Fig. 3. The correct figure is shown below.
