Facile Synthesis of a High Performance NiPd@CMK-3 Nanocatalyst for Mild Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling Reactions

Highly dispersed nickel-palladium bimetallic nanoparticles (∼2 nm) on ordered mesoporous carbon CMK-3 (NiPd@CMK-3) were simply prepared using a co-infiltration method of the metal salts. The nanoparticles were successfully applied to the mild Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions at 25∼50 °C using 4-bromoanisole and phenylboronic acid, and showed excellent catalytic performance with the high activity (0.521×10 ⁻³ mol _c ⋅ g _am ⁻¹ ⋅ s ⁻¹ ) and productivity (69.1 g _p ⋅ g _cat ⁻¹ ⋅ h ⁻¹ ).
