An air‐stable, bulky electron‐accepting phosphine ligand (phosphabarrelene) allows the easy reduction of a Pd II precursor to a Pd 0 complex, highly active in room‐temperature Negishi‐type cross‐coupling. DFT calculations show that the use of the electron‐accepting ligand favors both transmetalation ( TM ) and reductive‐elimination ( RE ) processes (see scheme; OA =oxidative addition).
