Decorated palladium nanoparticles on chitosan/δ-FeOOH microspheres: A highly active and recyclable catalyst for Suzuki coupling reaction and cyanation of aryl halides

In this study, an eco-friendly and low cost magnetic nanocomposite consisting of chitosan/δ-FeOOH microspheres (CS/δ-FeOOH) was fabricated as a stabilizer by using a simple method. Pd nanoparticles (Pd NPs) were decorated on the designed CS/δ-FeOOH, and the resulting Pd [email protected]/δ-FeOOH microspheres were employed as a heterogeneous catalyst in the construction of biaryl and benzonitriles. Pd [email protected]/δ-FeOOH microspheres...
