One becomes two: Palladium nanoparticles stabilized by ionic liquids are used as the sole catalytic precursors for sequential Heck and hydrogenation processes. The dual role of these systems, which act as both a heterogeneous catalyst and also as a reservoir of catalytically active molecular species, is investigated.
