Sustainable nano fibrillated cellulose supported in situ biogenic Pd nanoparticles as heterogeneous catalyst for C–C cross coupling reactions

This manuscript reports the design, synthesis and application of naturally occurring cellulose, generated from agro waste pomegranate peel, as novel support for active biogenic Pd (0) nanoparticles (NPs) for room temperature Suzuki-Miyaura and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. The presence of hydroxyl groups and unsaturated hanging bonds on their surfaces in cellulose matrix enable well dispersion of PdNPs over the support matrix to generate...
