Abstract
A molecular/heterogeneous catalyst motif based on an earth abundant nickel catalyst and SiO2 support has been designed and synthesized. Characterization and catalytic testing indicate that the molecular nickel catalyst [(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine-4′-benzoic acid)Ni(II)]Cl2 attached to a high surface area SiO2 support is the active cross-coupling catalyst and increased product yields are a result of increased molecular stability of the catalyst while attached to the SiO2 support. This molecular/heterogeneous motif is easily separated from reaction mixtures and can be recycled for multiple catalytic reactions. The catalyst is active for Suzuki–Miyaura catalysis at catalyst loadings as low as 0.1 mol %, and turnover numbers nearing 2000 have been achieved.
