Efficient preparation and application of monodisperse palladium loaded graphene oxide as a reusable and effective heterogeneous catalyst for suzuki cross-coupling reaction

Abstract

A homogeneously dispersed graphene oxide supported palladium nanomaterial (Pd@GO) has been successfully synthesized and used as a catalyst in cross-coupling reactions at room temperature. Various analytical techniques such as X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) were used to characterize the monodisperse Pd@GO. Monodisperse Pd@GO nanomaterials were used for the cross-coupling reactions which brought together organic molecules with functional significance. This catalyst showed superior catalytic activity and stability for these coupling reactions. High product yields, short reaction times and mild reaction conditions, obtained by the using of developed catalysts. Importantly, the catalyst can be used at least five experiments successfully without losing its efficiency.
