Stable N ‐heterocyclic carbenes are generated starting from 5,17‐(bis‐imidazolium)‐substituted calix[4]arenes. Addition of Pd(OAc) 2 to these carbenes leads to macrocyclic cis ‐palladium chelate complexes in which the distal bridging of the upper rim leads to a strong distortion of the calix[4]arene skeleton which was proven by X‐ray crystal structure determination. Using an in‐situ catalytic system consisting of a calixarene‐imidazolium salt, Cs 2 CO 3 as a base and a source of palladium, a species is formed which can be used to catalyse the Suzuki cross‐coupling of 4‐chloro toluene.
