The copper-catalysed functionalization of aryl halides is one of the most preferred methods for the formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds.1 Yet, the redox behaviour of the copper species in the catalytic cycle remains elusive and a subject of considerable debate.2 We report experimental and theoretical mechanistic investigations into the reaction of a well-defined Cu(I) complex with an electron-poor aryl …

Recruitment of human participants In all studies involving human participants, we recruited participants from Prolific. We sought samples that were representative of the population of the USA in terms of age, self-identified gender and ethnicity. We note that this was not possible in study 3c, where our required sample size fell below their minimum threshold (n = 300). Study 1 on principal’s …
