Fe3O4@void@C-Schiff-base/Pd yolk-shell nanostructures as an effective and reusable nanocatalyst for Suzuki coupling reaction

Abstract

Abstract This article describes the synthesis of a novel Yolk-Shell structured Magnetic Yolk-Shell Nanomaterials Modified by Functionalized Carbon Shell with Schiff/Palladium Bases (Fe3O4@void@C-Schiff-base/Pd). The designed Fe3O4@void@C-Schiff-base/Pd catalyst was characterized using several techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and Inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The Fe3O4@void@C-Schiff-base/Pd was used as powerful catalyst for preparation Suzuki reaction in short reaction times and high yield in H2O at 60 °C and presence of potassium carbonate base. This nanocatalyst was magnetically recovered and reused several times with keeping its efficiency.
