Palladium and tungsten complexes containing the bifunctional ligand 4‐diphenylphosphanylcatechol (L 1 ) have been synthesized. The catecholate functionality strongly binds to titanium dioxide nanoparticles, effectively anchoring the complexes to the TiO 2 surface. Solid‐state 31 P NMR spectroscopy was used to probe the surface‐bound compounds. Diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy also provided data on surface‐bound tungsten carbonyl complexes. Preliminary experiments show that the palladium phosphane complex [PdBr 2 (L 1 ) 2 ] supported on TiO 2 catalyzes the Sonogashira coupling of phenylacetylene with 4‐iodonitrobenzene.
