Diimidazolium salt (1) in conjunction with Pd(OAc)2 was employed as a catalyst for C–C cross-coupling reactions. The diimidazolium salt was found to be efficient in catalyzing Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction in ethanol under ambient conditions. Moderate to good selectivity of the trans product was observed in the Heck cross-coupling reaction. The molecular structure of 1 was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction study UR - https://doi.org/10.1007/s12039-015-0844-8 ER -
