Mesoporous-silica-coated palladium-nanocubes as recyclable nanocatalyst in C–C-coupling reaction – a green approach

Abstract

We report the straightforward design of a recyclable palladium-core–silica-shell nanocatalyst showing an excellent balance between sufficient stability and permeability. The overall process – design, catalysis and purification – is characterized by its sustainability and simplicity accompanied by a great recycling potential and ultra high yields in C–C-coupling reactions.
