CCH-Pd complex anchored on ZrFe2O4 nanoparticles as a novel magnetic catalytic for C-C coupling reactions

Abstract

In the present work, Palladium nanoparticles were supported on Cinchonine functionalized ZrFe2O4 MNPs. The structure, morphology, and physicochemical properties of the particles were characterized through different analytical techniques, including fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. Moreover, it was obtained as an efficient catalyst for Hiyama and Suzuki reactions under green conditions with good to excellent yields. This method has the advantages of simple methodology, high yields, easy work-up, greener conditions, and short reaction times. This catalyst was reused four times in C-C coupling reaction without loss of its catalytic activity. The reused catalyst was characterized by ICP and FT-IR techniques. Heterogeneity and stability of ZrFe2O4@SiO2-S-CCH-Pd were studied by hot filtration test and ICP analysis.
