Abstract

The use of nanostructure materials as heterogeneous catalysts in the synthesis of organic compounds have been receiving more attention in the rapid developing area of nanotechnology. In this review, we mainly focused on our own work on the synthesis of hybrid palladium–iron oxide nanoparticles. We discuss the synthesis of Pd–Fe3O4—both morphology-controlled synthesis of Pd–Fe3O4 and transition metal-loaded Pd–Fe3O4—as well as its application in various C–C coupling reactions. In the case of rose-like Pd–Fe3O4 hybrid nanoparticles, thermal decomposition can be used instead of oxidants or reductants, and morphology can be easily controlled. We have developed a method for the synthesis of nanoparticles that is facile and eco-friendly. The catalyst was recyclable for up to five continual cycles without significant loss of catalytic activity and may provide a great platform as a catalyst for other organic reactions in the near future.

Summary

Introduction

Fusion multimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) have generally been synthesized for use as catalysts, due to properties such as high selectivity for target material, catalytic activity, and physical/chemical stability when compared with equivalent catalysts based on a single metal [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] Their preparation has been optimized towards the design and synthesis via capping agent for controlled shape, size, and crystal structure [11,12,13,14,15]. Among various hybrid multimetallic NPs, palladium–iron oxide (Pd–Fe3 O4 ) has attracted much attention owing to the high catalytic performance (Pd) and magnetically recoverable (Fe3 O4 ) properties of each of the components of the nanocatalyst
