Suzuki-Miyaura reaction catalized by palladium nanoparticles supported onto reduced graphene oxide

Abstract

The aim of this work is to study the catalytic properties of palladium nanoparticles immobilized onto reduced graphene oxide. This objective can be divided into the following items: o Synthesis and characterization of an imidazolium salt that would serve as ligand precursor. o Synthesis of a Pd-NHC complex and full characterization by 1H NMR, APT NMR, 1 H-1H COSY, 1H-13C HSQC, 1H-13C HMBC, MS, X-Ray diffraction and TGA. o Immobilization and characterization by TEM and ICP-MS of the Pd-NHC complex onto rGO. o Formation of PdNPs immobilized onto rGO and full characterization by TEM, ICPMS and XPS. o Study of the catalyst properties of the PdNPs immobilized onto rGO in the SuzukiMiyaura reaction. o Study of recyclability of the PdNPs immobilized onto rGO in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction.
