An immobilized symmetrical bis-(NHC) palladium complex as a highly efficient and recyclable Suzuki–Miyaura catalyst in aerobic aqueous media

Abstract

A novel palladium-silica complex was prepared and characterized. This complex is a highly efficient and easily recyclable catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction under mild aqueous conditions, and can be reused efficiently up to 6 consecutive runs.
